Hertha BSC: Nine Suspects Turn Themselves in After Clashes at Berlin's Olympic Stadium. Police Investigate for Breach of the Peace. 52 People Were Injured. On January 17, 2026, there were violent clashes between home fans and police before the Second League match between Hertha BSC and Schalke (0:0). The police spoke of „disturbances“. Hertha fans attacked a Schalke fan and then the police in the area of the access to the East Curve. Also, a gate to the curve and thus a potential escape route was closed, explained the police. The Hertha BSC fan association rejected this in part and accused the police of targeted provocation and unjustified police violence. The officers had been present in areas of the stadium that had been clearly intended for fans for many years, it was said. The fan association is not an organ of the club. 52 people were injured in the clashes, including 21 police officers. The police are investigating for breach of the peace. Nine suspects have turned themselves in. The public prosecutor's office has suspended investigations against police officers for bodily harm.
