15-year-old German soccer player suffers life-threatening injuries after being struck during post-match brawl

A German teen suffered life-threatening injuries during a post-match brawl at an international soccer tournament. A 16-year-old was jailed for striking him.

A 15-year-old soccer player has been hospitalized with life-threatening brain injuries after being struck by an opposing player in a post-match fight during an international youth tournament in Germany.

A 16-year-old from a French team was jailed pending further investigation by a judge in Frankfurt, where the match against a team from Berlin took place on Sunday.

In a statement Tuesday, Frankfurt police said a scuffle broke out between players after the final whistle and escalated into punches being thrown.
