He was unconscious when he was rushed to a hospital in Gent where he is fighting for his life.
The son of the victim gave his account of what happened to his father, saying: “After the match, we stopped at the parking lot along the E40 in Drongen.
“While we were already driving on, my dad was waiting outside for his two friends. There, a Club [Brugge] supporter approached him and pulled his scarf from his neck.
