Turkish law enforcers thwarted an attack of Fenerbahce FC fans on a bus carrying fans of Russia

According to the correspondent, the Turkish fans attacked the bus only several meters from the stadium throwing stones at the vehicle. However, Turkish police reacted promptly clamping down on the assailants and detained at least four Fenerbahce FC fans.
