Referee in Brazil attacked two futsal players with a weapon | Trends | Other Soccer Leagues

Scandal in Brazilian territory during an amateur futsal game.

A match in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, ended in widespread confusion, leaving at least two injured after the referee pointed a gun and assaulted the players.

Once the match was over, played last Wednesday at Playa del Cassino and which was broadcast live on social media, a heated discussion broke out between the players of the winning team “É Us Guri” and the referee, who immediately took out and pointed a gun at the athletes.

Videos and images that circulate on the networks also show the moment in which the judge, identified as Mauro, attacks some of the players with punches and blows with his butt.

This Saturday, police sources confirmed that the referee is a militarized police officer and that the authorities launched an investigation to verify possible crimes of bodily injury. Likewise, the amateur team explained on its official pages that the confusion began when the judge attacked a player who was expelled through a grid, which led to the questioning of the technical commission and others present on the field.

“Then, the referee took out his pistol that was on his waist throughout the match and attacked two athletes from our team with butts,” denounced “É Us Guri”. The injured were immediately transferred to a hospital in the region, where one of them received three stitches in the wound and the other fainted during the transfer.

“We, from the “É Us Guri” team, repudiate the act of the referee of the match, who should be the person who calms the spirits of all those involved instead of taking that very wrong attitude”, completed the note, which acknowledges that the expelled player “was offending the judge” but reaffirms that “nothing justifies such an act”.
