Street action following the Montreal's game 7 victory over the Bruins turned violent last night when hooligans torched and destroyed more than 12 police vehicles and damaged local businesses.
A police spokesman said at least 13 people were held, including three minors – one 14-year-old and two 17-year-olds. All will face charges including break-and-enter, mischief against a police vehicle, assault against a police officer and other violations.
The riot started after a large crowd celebrating the Canadiens win started to disperse just before midnight.
Jean-Francois Hotte said he was there when things got ugly quickly as police started chasing people.
"One minute we were all hanging out and celebrating and then all hell broke out," said a man who watched as a Foot Locker store was ransacked by looters.
"It didn't take five minutes before everyone was up on Ste-Catherine Street. Things happened really fast."
Small groups milled around on several street corners even as riot police surrounded burning vehicles to allow firefighters to douse flames.
16 police cars were damaged and had to be towed.
Five vehicles were torched, possibly six. An unknown number of businesses were also vandalized.
Helicopter footage showed a pair of vandals on a darkened street set ablaze the interior of a damaged, abandoned police car. A third person recorded the act with his cell phone. Others stood by watching.
Hundreds of fans broke into a spontaneous ``25" chant. The Canadiens have won 24 Stanley Cups in their history.
Police spokeswoman Const. Anie Lemieux said "fortunately no one seems to have been injured". She said police "had things thrown at them".
Police have the situation under control. At least five Montreal police cars littered the city's downtown early Tuesday morning."It's more calm now but we're still patrolling Ste-Catherine Street," an officer said just after 3 a.m.
Montreal recently had a spate of so-called anarchist violence, including the torching of six police cars in a station parking lot in March.
These fans could learn from Toronto sport fans. The last time that great sports city won a championship (Jays) over a million people poured into the street with zero incidents. Common Habs fans... give it a rest.
