A Seattle man is facing misdemeanor assault charges after shoving two junior referees—ages 12 and 14—onto the ice during his son's hockey game on Sunday, in what police have described as an "unprovoked" attack.
The man claimed he was acting in defense of his son, who he alleged was being punched and kicked by an opposing player while referees failed to intervene, according to a police report obtained by ABC News. However, police state that there was no fight at the time of the incident and that the game had already been stopped.
