match.

Thirty six-year-old Kaisey Simons was arrested on Tuesday and Police expect him to appear in court soon.

Mr. Simons is being held in custody after Grade Two official Perry Scott had to undergo surgery for an injury to his nose when he was allegedly attacked just 12 minutes into the Commercial League match between North Village Rams and Tuff Dogs on Saturday.

The referee underwent surgery in hospital and was discharged yesterday.

President of the Bermuda Referee Association (BRA), Lyndon Raynor, said Mr.

Scott had filed criminal charges against the player but could not establish whether further legal action would be taken.

The Bermuda Football Association has procedures for disciplinary action but the BRA is concerned the current manpower shortage will worsen following this latest incident.
