Violence erupted in Marseille's Old Port district for the third straight day, both before and after a European Championship soccer match between England and Russia on Saturday, Fox News reported.

Police fired tear gas and water cannons at rival fans who were rioting around the city, a largely unsuccessful attempt to rein in violence that authorities said left at least five people injured. Some fans walked through the city bare-chested and with blood dripping from head wounds.

UEFA, the governing body of European soccer, also condemned the fans, saying "people engaging in such violent acts have no place in football."
