In a recent match between Romanian sides Popesti Stefan and
Unirea Dragalina, the referee allowed a questionable goal. This
angered the home fans, some of whom ran onto the pitch to protest.
In a mobile phone video submitted to German website Bild,
the assistant referee is hounded, and then seen to pull a gun from
under his jersey.
Revealing a deadly weapon was a successful method of calming the
crowd down, but it has landed the official in hot water with the
police.
