A referee has shocked millions around
the world after he pointed a gun at a player during a regional league
match in Brumadinho near Belo Horizonte, Brazil’s sixth largest city and
the capital of the state of Minais Gerais last weekend.
According to Mirror UK, Gabriel
Murta, said to be a police officer by day reacted to an alleged assault
by a player by racing to the changing rooms to get the weapon. The
referee had to be restrained from using the gun by one his linesmen and
is now facing......
disciplinary action.
League president Valdenir de Castro
claimed Murta was kicked and slapped after one of the team’s players and
manager invaded the pitch to demand a red card for a player from the
opposing side.
Referees’ association boss, Giuliano
Bozzano, said Murta felt threatened and went to look for the weapon to
defend himself. The referee was subjected to a psychological assessment
on Tuesday and could face suspension or a permanent ban if found guilty.
