At least 127 Indonesian football fans are feared dead and scores more are hurt after

Hundred of people are feared dead after a riot broke out at the end of a football match in Indonesia. Horrific scenes marred the full-time whistle as Arema FC lost at home 3-2 to local rivals Persebaya Surabaya on the main island of Java, a result which saw dozens of Artema fans invade the pitch. Amid the on-field violence, baton-wielding riot police immediately took to the field, firing tear gas at the crowds and into the stands as the fans retreated. Harrowing video shows fans scaling fences as they try to escape the smoke - which did not dissipate - with some falling to the ground, losing consciousness and being trampled under a stampede. Reports suggest that some of the fans were cornered by the tear gas and suffered from inhalation and shortage of oxygen. The death toll stands at 127 and a further 180 have been reported injured as a result of the pitch invasion and the actions that followed. Further disturbing footage appears to show rows of bodies turned blue in the hallways of a nearby hospital.
