Man faces jail for masturbating infront of fans during a game

A LILLE fan is facing a year in prison and a £13,000 fine after masturbating in front of Lens fans during the heated derby clash.

Tensions boiled over in Lens’ 1-0 win over rivals Lille.

So much so the Ligue 1 club’s ultras invaded the pitch and marched towards the travelling Lille fans in a shameful act of intimidation, delaying the start of the second half.

Saturday’s game saw six injured in total, including a riot police officer who was trying to keep the peace.

And one Lille supporter is potentially facing prison time.

La Voix du Nord are reporting that a Lille supporter masturbated in front of the home crowd, an offence punishable with a year in prison and a £13,000 fine.

The unidentified supporter was pictured in the act, showing his genitalia to the Trannin stand occupied by Lens supporters, including families.

Other investigations are also under way in the aftermath of the crowd trouble.
