An Argentina fan lay on the pitch with a bloody face before being carried out of the stadium on a stretcher.
The Argentina team, led by Messi, went up to the roof to try to calm the situation before leaving the field and returning to the dressing room.
“It was bad because we saw how they were beating people … like in the final of the Libertadores before, the police were again suppressing people with night sticks, there were players who had families,” Messi said in an interview with Pitchside Television.
“We went to the locker room because it was the best way to calm everything down, it could have ended in tragedy.
“You think about the family, who are there, who don’t know what’s going on and we were more concerned about that than playing a match that was secondary at that moment.
Brazil captain Marquinhos was seen talking to Messi and Argentina players while trying to calm the situation.
“We were worried about the families, women and children, where we were watching in horror in the stands,” Marquinhos told reporters.
“It was difficult for us to understand what was happening on the ground, it was a very scary situation.
It was a third straight defeat for five-times World Cup winners Brazil, who had midfielder Joelinton sent off 18 minutes from time.
