A wild video emerged this weekend showing an off-duty police officer assaulting a coach at a youth soccer game in Worcester County, Massachusetts. The incident happened on March 1 on the field of Teamworks, an indoor sports complex in Northborough, following a match between two all-girl teams.
In the video, the off-duty Worcester officer is seen crossing the field to confront the opposing team’s coach. After a brief exchange of words, he grabs the coach by his shirt and slams him into a fence before wrestling him to the ground. The clip shows other spectators jumping into the fray to try to pull him off, and many of the young players appear distressed, with one girl breaking down in tears.
Parents who attended the game would not identify the assailant when approached by a reporter from ABC affiliate WCVB , but Northborough police confirmed to the outlet that he is a 36-year-old officer from West Boylston who is also the parent of one of the players.
After launching an investigation into the incident, police charged the officer with assault and battery on March 8, a week after the fight. However, his identity is still a mystery to the public. He was put on administrative leave, and according to a press release , his identity will not be revealed until he appears in a Westborough District Court to face the charges…
