A police spokesman said: ‘When the brawl stopped, one of the two, which includes the football players then started abusing police officers verbally. At some stage, one of them threw a punch at one of the policemen and a fight started again.
‘The three of them were arrested but while trying to arrest them, the others, including the football player, got very violent. They were able to bring down two policemen, hit them and kicked them.
