bullets13 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 (AP) New Castle County police have arrested a New Castle man accused of biting a referee who ejected him from a soccer game. Police say the man surrendered on Friday morning. According to police, the referee gave the soccer player a "red card" for unsportsmanlike conduct during the game Thursday evening at Weiss Parkland near Newark. That's when the soccer player allegedly grabbed the official and bit his face just below his lower lip and underneath his chin. Police say the bite caused deep cuts. The assailant ran off, but police obtained an arrest warrant after using the team roster to identify him. The man was charged with felony assault, abuse of a sports official, terroristic threatening, and harassment.
