After the game, the player walked up to the female referee and the two continued their argument. At the time, the woman was holding a young child.

At some point, the player swung in an attempt to slap the woman. After she passed the child to another person at the gym, a fight ensued. Police say the two "tussled on the ground." During the fight, the male suspect punched the referee in the face multiple times. At some point, the man's girlfriend pulled him off the victim. That's when the female suspect kicked the victim in the head.
