Police stop planned brawl between English and German hooligans

Twenty-two people were taken into custody to stop a planned brawl between German and English hooligans.

Some 150 police officers from both countries moved in on 150 Chelsea supporters at the red light district of St. Pauli ahead of Wednesday's Champions League match against Werder Bremen.

Police seized an ax and truncheons among other weapons from the Chelsea hooligans, who had arranged to fight about 100 Germans.
