Police arrest 31 at rowdy Costa Rica party
Thirty-one rowdy fans were arrested in Costa Rica during street celebrations that erupted after the country won its first trip to the quarter-finals, police said Monday.
Most of the arrests were for brawls or public disorder, police said in a statement on their 20-hour operation around the team's match against Greece on Sunday, which Costa Rica won on penalty kicks after a nail-biting 1-1 draw, despite playing one man down.
Police also seized two guns, a knife and drugs, they said.
Traffic police for their part stopped 27 people for drunk driving.
In all, police said they had received 486 reports of domestic violence, 602 of public disorder and 411 of assaults or street fights.
