Ammon News - A referee was brutally punched by an angry dad in shocking scenes at a children's football match.

The incident took place after the full-time whistle.

A dad of FC Villmergen C-Junior player flew off the handle at the official in Aargau, Switzerland.

Villmergen lost 4-2 to SC Schoftland - suffering heartache in injury time.

And for one parent, he completely lost his cool.

The dad confronted the referee as he walked off the pitch.

Wearing a black vest and light shorts, according to Aargauer Zeitung he asked the ref: "Do you know what football means?"

He then proceeded to thump the official with a savage uppercut.

The referee managed to stay on his feet as his assailant was restrained, video footage showed.

A FC Villmergen coach labelled the father's behaviour as unacceptable and hinted the inexplicable reaction may have come after he thought his son was fouled.

The club are also considering what measures to take against the individual, with a possible ban against attending his son's matches. The Sun
