The final competition of the Invitational Darts Touranment between Netherlands’ Michael van Gerwen and Australia’s Simon Whitlock turned ugly after a group of angry fans started a riot which effectively interrupted the game.
The competition took place in Melbourne, Austrialia at the Etihad Stadium, Dockland on January 10, 2015 and the rowdy scene led to security officials intervening.
Luckily for Van Gerwen, he emerged the winner of the competition eventually, beating his opponent to a 9 – 8 victory after normalcy was restored.
