The basketball game between Toscones Corralejo and Probasketlab Fuenlabrada held this Saturday in Fuerteventura had to be temporarily suspended after one of the players assaulted and insulted the referee, as published by La Provincia.
Less than five minutes from the end, the referee signaled a foul on one of the players from the Majorero team, at which point he angrily approached him and pushed him in the back, knocking him to the ground. Furthermore, while he was on the ground, the player hit him with a punch to the abdomen.
Furthermore, as recorded in the minutes, the referee received insults such as “you are a son of a bitch”. On the other hand, during the assault, a fan of the local team jumped onto the field and threatened him, saying: “I shit on your fucking mother, you are a pig, if I catch you I will finish you off”.
The refereeing team took refuge in the locker room before the match resumed and the player was disqualified. The assaulted referee was attended to by medical personnel and the facts have been reported to the Civil Guard.
