A football match between two rival teams was abruptly abandoned after the manager of one of the teams was punched by an angry fan.
The incident occurred in the 80th minute of the game, with the manager walking along the sidelines and giving instructions to his players when a fan suddenly ran onto the field and punched him in the face.
Chaos ensued as players from both teams and security personnel rushed onto the field to break up the fight. The referee had no choice but to abandon the match for the safety of everyone involved.
The police were called to the scene and the fan who threw the punch was arrested and taken into custody. The manager was taken to the hospital for treatment, but thankfully his injuries were not serious.
It was a shocking and disappointing end to what should have been a competitive and exciting match. The football league has launched an investigation into the incident and will be taking disciplinary action against those involved.
