Zagreb, March 22 (CP) – Although it was to be a quiet protest against being blamed for attempting to organise clashes with social groups to vindicate the death of their fellow Bad Blue Boy a week ago, one of the Dinamo soccer supporters managed to run into a Croatian Radio Television camera and push it off its stand, damaging it and lightly injuring the camera person on Friday evening.

The organisers had called on the members of the Bad Blue Boys (BBB) Dinamo Zagreb club football supporters to gather in the square carrying mops and dusters and in that way deny the charges they were going to go after other ‘alternative’ groups like ‘punkers’ and ‘heavy metal lovers’ in a bid  to ‘clean up the city’ following the death of their fellow supporter who died a week ago after being stabbed by a group he and his BBB mates attacked in a Zagreb park.

Some 200 BBB’s gathered in Zagreb’s main square on Friday evening taking a walk through the pedestrian zone chanting and singing.

The camera incident happened when a Croatian Television camera person ran towards a group of hooded supporters to film them and one of the BBB’s leapt towards him, knocking the €25,000 camera to the ground and giving the camera person a bloody nose in the process.

The police were there to identify the young attacker.

The protest lasted a total of 45 minutes and the police said that at no time were the citizens or reporters in danger, totally neglecting the fact that the cameraperson and his camera came under attack.
