Four Belgian soccer fans injured in brawl in Greece

Police say four Belgian soccer fans have been treated in the hospital for minor injuries following a brawl in Athens hours before a Europa League match between Olympiakos and Anderlecht.

Police say several dozen Belgian fans were attacked by youths at a bar in the city's Gazi district early Thursday. The match will be played later Thursday at Karaiskakis Stadium in nearby Piraeus.

Police say 35 people were detained. Six of them were arrested for public disturbance offenses and the others were released without charge.

The Belgian club won the first leg 1-0 in Brussels on February 18.
