In another video, before the attack, a number of Manchester United fans can be seen were singing and dancing at the same venue.
A total of 9,500 spectators will attend the game including 2,000 from each finalist. Reports suggest that around 2000 Manchester United supporters have travelled to Poland to watch the UEFA Europa League final matchat the Stadion Miejski.
Up to 30 attackers may have been involved, Gdansk police spokesman Michal Sienkiewicz told Polish broadcaster TVN24 on Wednesday. They left before police arrived, he said.
“The whole thing took seconds rather than minutes and then the attackers dispersed,” Sienkiewicz mentioned. “We will most probably be publishing the images of persons that were involved in the occurrence. Arrests are just a matter of time.”
Gdansk Mayor Aleksandra Dulkiewicz said on Twitter there was “no room in our city for any form of violence! Dear fans and guests, you are always most welcome in our city.”
