Footballer Hospitalized with Punctured Lung After Referee Allegedly Stabs Him in Argentina Youth Game Brawl.
A grassroots referee, Remigio Armoa, was allegedly arrested for stabbing a player in Misiones province during a match brawl. Following the altercation and player encirclement, Armoa reportedly used a knife, striking a player in the chest. The victim collapsed and was subsequently carried off the pitch by teammates.
The victim, identified as Kevin A by local media, sustained a punctured lung in the assault. Fortunately, prompt medical attention has ensured his recovery, and he is now out of danger.
Images later showed him in a hospital bed with a bandage on the left side of his chest, scrolling through his cell phone.
Addressing the local media, his uncle revealed, “Kevin is miraculously alive. For the family, it is a very delicate moment because he is the Messi of the family. He is a boy well gifted for football, thank God he had the opportunity to be in a club like Chacarita.
Armoa attempted to flee but was later apprehended by local police, who also recovered the knife used in the assault. Subsequently, he was photographed in handcuffs, facing charges for the shocking act.
The Argentine police are currently investigating the case, while the player continues his recovery under medical supervision.
