Referee Punched In The Face, Knocked Out By Football Player (Video)

In a recent community college football game between Ventura College and Mt. San Antonio, an ugly incident occurred in which a player was arrested after punching and knocking out one of the officials during the game.

During the game, a fight broke out between some of the players.  The referee attempted to break up the fight, but 6’5″, 270 pound Mt. San Antonio lineman Bernard Schirmer stepped in, punching the ref and knocking him out.  Schirmer says that he didn’t mean to hit the referee, and that he was actually hitting himself in the head trying to calm himself down.  He is now facing a felony battery charge.
