Rapid Vienna fans clashed with riot police before the kick-off of their Bundesliga match at Hartberg on Sunday.
It happened inside the Hartberg stadium about 30 minutes before the start of the game.
Flares and other objects were thrown at riot cops, who responded with pepper spray.
It is believed that the trouble started after two Rapid fans were arrested for trying to bring banned items into the away section.
Order was eventually restored and the match was able to get underway around 45 minutes after the violence erupted.
