The fans also turned over two police vehicles and set them on fire in Istanbul's Kadikoy district, the Anadolu agency added. Police and citizens nearby quickly put out the fire, it added. The fans also turned over garbage bins and shattered shop windows, also leaving behind streets littered with fist-sized stones, state television showed.

In related violence elsewhere in the country, a 29-year-old man wearing a Galatasaray jersey was stabbed in the abdomen in an attack by Fenerbahce fans, the agency said. The man was reported to be in stable condition.
