JAKARTA - The Argentine national team championship parade in Buenos Aires ended in sorrow. A supporter reportedly died and a 5-year-old boy fell into a coma after fans clashed with police.
In celebration of Albiceleste's success in winning the 2022 World Cup, Tuesday, December 20, about four million people flooded the streets of Buenos Aires.
The situation became even more chaotic when fans began to crowd the team's buses, including trying to get on the bus by jumping off the bridge.
A video footage shows one person falling about 20 feet from the bridge as he was about to join the players on a two-tier bus. However, he is reportedly in good condition.
Meanwhile, health officials confirmed how a 20-year-old fan died after he fell from the roof after "jumping around" while celebrating the march.
Meanwhile, a five-year-old boy fell into a coma after suffering a serious head injury following an incident at Plaza San Martin. It was reported that a piece of marble fell from a monument and hit the child.

The number of supporters on the road made the team finally have to be evacuated by helicopter. The reason is, the bus they are traveling on cannot pass through the path that has become a human sea.
As evening came, the scene became even more chaotic - with images showing riot police clashing with fans.
Another video shows police having to take cover from objects thrown at them by hoodigan. A small group of officers also appeared to be curling behind their shields.
Meanwhile, firefighters tried to reach the fans who forced their way to 235 feet in Buenos Aires.
Fans risked their lives by climbing the inside of the iconic monument to open the windows at the top.
Initial reports said 13 people were arrested for the incident. Eight police officers were injured, although the number is expected to be much more.
