The aggression of a soccer player towards a referee during a match of the Third Division of Argentine soccer was recorded on video.
In the images you can see how the player hits the woman squarely and knocks her down;
The referee stood up but in moments she collapsed and she ended up being taken to a local hospital.
Once released, she filed a criminal complaint against her assailant.
CNN has tried to contact the man in question via the police unit, without receiving a response until Monday.
The team and the league issued a statement in solidarity with the referee, in repudiation of the violence exerted on her and making themselves available to eradicate this type of action by her players.
