STOCKHOLM (AP)—UEFA charged Stockholm club AIK with “lack of order and security” Friday for fan violence after a Europa League playoff match against Levski Sofia.

AIK hooligans attacked the Bulgarian team’s bus with rocks and bottles after the scoreless draw Thursday at Rasunda Stadium.

Levski owner Todor Batkov said he and two players were hit and the windshield of the bus was damaged. No serious injuries were reported.

A UEFA disciplinary panel will hear the case on Sept. 23.

AIK, which has a history of crowd problems, deplored the attack and said it expects “hard punishment” from UEFA. The club was $20,000 for fan violence during a July 28 Champions League qualifier against Rosenborg.
