BURSA, Turkey (AP)—The Turkish soccer federation has called off a league game between Besiktas and Bursaspor due to prematch violence between supporters that resulted in 25 policemen receiving minor injuries.

Gov. Sahabettin Harput of the northwestern city of Bursa says nine other people have been injured.

The clashes erupted Saturday when police prevented Bursaspor fans from assaulting Besiktas supporters in an apparent revenge attack following last year’s street fights in Istanbul.

No Besiktas fans were injured, but the clashes trapped the team’s players in their hotel.

Police have escorted Besiktas’ players and supporters out of Bursa.
