Ugly incidents also marred Europa League hopefuls CSKA Sofia's 1-1 draw at city rivals Akademik on Sunday with five CSKA fans arrested.
The violence over the weekend was the latest in a series of incidents to mar Bulgarian football in recent seasons with several clubs, including CSKA, receiving stadium bans.
"It was a busy week for us as we also identified and arrested another seven CSKA fans who caused serious trouble after the Europa League match against Rapid Vienna last month," a police spokeswoman told Reuters on Monday.
