Italian football journalist Tancredo Palmeri is currently Persicoping from the site, and has referred to a “stampede,” and can be heard saying that “it is not clear what it is happening.”
He said that he saw people “with blood on their heads” but that were “no noise of an explosion.”
As the video continues, Palmeri speaks to people who seem to explain that there was incident where bottles were thrown causing many people to run, but that no explosions were heard. Currently there has been no official explanation of what caused the panic.
