Policeman seriously injured as Paris Saint-Germain win in Tunisia

A Tunisian police officer was seriously injured during Paris Saint-Germain's 3-0 friendly win over Club Africain in Rades on Wednesday.

Fighting broke out between Tunisian supporters during the game and a policeman was hit in the eye by a metal bar as objects were hurled towards the pitch.

Le Parisien reported that Tunisia's Minister of the Interior, Hedi Majdoub, had issued a communique saying the officer's eye "was seriously injured by a blunt object."

The communique said his condition "is now stable" after he was rushed to hospital.

French champions PSG won the Trophee Ooredoo des Champions thanks to goals from Christopher Nkunku, Angel Di Maria and Jean-Kevin Augustin.

They were not presented with the trophy after the game amid security fears.

But chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi said he felt the trip -- which included the opening of a new Tunisian academy -- had been a success, adding: "Tunisia is an important country for us. We are very happy with our stay."
