BEATEN: Carly Lyes
Fan's Roma beating revealed on Internet
16/ 4/2007
VIDEO footage of a Salford University worker being beaten up by Italian police during a football match has been posted on the internet.
Carly Lyes was filming the police's actions during Manchester United's game at AS Roma.
In the footage which was shot by another fan and posted on YouTube her camera is snatched off her and she is slapped, punched and hit with a baton.
Carly, a disability worker at the university, said a police officer grabbed her arm, bent her wrist and twisted her arm behind her back causing extensive bruising.
The 23-year-old added: "I sank to my knees in searing pain. After they had stopped shoving me around, they pushed me down the stairs sideways. They flung me around like a rag doll."
The footage will form part of a dossier of evidence being collected by Reds' supporters group Independent Manchester United Supporters Association.
Their evidence will be used in a planned group lawsuit against the Italian police and will be sent to football governing body Uefa to help with their probe into the game.
Carly, of Rusholme, said: "Initially 10 officers charged us and started pushing people about, then suddenly there was a swarm of them.
"They were hitting people with batons and pushing people down stairs and I could see a lot of people with blood on their faces and one guy was unconscious so I started filming it because I had seen similar scenes in Lille and had not had the evidence."

Got an opinion you want to share?Should less emphasis be placed on the results of tests and more emphasis on general education for children?
