Two men arrested after Fenerbahce team bus shot at with rifle

Two men arrested over Fenerbahce bus attack

Turkish police have confirmed that two men have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in an attack on the Fenerbahce team bus at the weekend.

Two shots were fired by a rifle at the vehicle in Trabzon following Fenerbahce's 5-1 away win over Caykur Rizespor.

The team, who are second behind Galatasaray in the Super Lig, were travelling to the airport to catch a flight back to Istanbul when the attack occurred.

According to Reuters, Trabzon governor Abdil Celil Oz has confirmed that the suspects aged 38 and 27 have been detained following the attack, which left the bus driver needing hospital treatment for his wounds.

The Turkish top-flight league has been suspended for one week following the incident.

No players were hurt.
