Wild scenes were recorded Friday evening on the A2 motorway near Traiskirchen, Austria, where a group of about 50 masked hooligans attempted to block the roadway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police intervened after a series of dramatic calls around 9:00 p.m. reporting chaos on the road, burning cars, and traffic accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although strong security forces, emergency medical services, and a helicopter were immediately dispatched to the scene, it turned out that reports of fires and damage were exaggerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, police had to push back around fifty masked individuals who had parked their vehicles alongside the highway and tried on foot to enter the roadway itself. During searches, more than 40 clubs were seized, but none of those present were officially arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
