АФП:Бой със снежни топки се превърна в гигантско меле в Германия30 ноември 2010
Берлин. Бой със снежни топки на игра е прераснал в истинско меле с повече от 500 участници в германския град Лайпциг, като накрая наред със снежните топки са летели бутилки, камъни и фойерверки, съобщава АФП.
Група от 40 души се е събрала в понеделник за бой със снежни топки, но играта бързо е загрубяла в мащабно меле, изискващо намесата на полицията.
Над 500 души са се присъединили към мелето, като са блокирали трафика.

Traditional snowball fight turns into giant melee in LeipzigPublished: 30 Nov 10 14:34 CET
A group of 40 people had gathered late Monday for an annual ritual that comes with the first snow of the season, but the scene at the city’s Connewitzer Kreuz intersection quickly degenerated into a massive free-for-all that required police intervention.
"The black-clad mob threw not only snow but also firecrackers, bottles and rocks," the police said in a statement.
More than 500 people joined the fracas, snarling traffic and sparking a major police operation.
"Officers became the main target of the hooligans but a completely uninvolved car driver also fell victim, with the mob smashing his windscreen with a beer bottle and injuring his arm."
Two officers were wounded in the fray and a police car was damaged before the group could be broken up.
There have been several altercations between the police and leftists in the neighbourhood around Connewitzer Kreuz in the past and there was a massive snowball fight only last January that also descended into chaos.
