A youth football coach in Florida has been arrested and charged with assault after video surfaced online showing him attacking a referee, slapping him so hard it literally knocked the ref to the ground.
Assistant coach Dion Robinson was arrested and charged with assault for attacking youth football referee Andrew Keigans.
Keigans had reportedly just thrown a penalty flag for unsportsmanlike conduct against the West Park Saints when Robinson charged onto the football field and attacked the ref.
The game was stopped as soon as Robinson stepped onto the field, and Robinson continued to stalk the ref, eventually attacking him and dropping him to the ground.
Check out the assault in the video below.
