BUENOS AIRES - One fan was stabbed and 174 were arrested after fighting among Boca Juniors supporters on Sunday in the latest outbreak of Argentine soccer violence.

The trouble came a day after a Velez Sarsfield fan was shot dead on the way to the stadium and fellow supporters rioted, forcing their team's game at San Lorenzo to be postponed.

Sunday's trouble began as Boca supporters prepared to board a convoy of buses taking them to an away match against Huracan.

A police spokesman said fighting broke out between rival fans of the Boca supporters club known as The 12 in the district of La Boca.

Around 100 officers, 20 police cars and a helicopter were needed to bring the situation under control, Eduardo Meta said.

"The injured man is out of danger .... the situation is totally controlled," Meta told reporters.
