Boxer jailed over attack that left football referee with broken jaw in Australia

An amateur boxer has been jailed for assaulting a match referee at a suburban Sydney football game in Australia almost two years ago. Adam Abdallah was filmed violently assaulting match official Khodr Yaghi after an April 2023 match at Padstow in southwest Sydney. Judge Nicole Noman said Yaghi instigated the violence, but Abdallah then launched into a “cowardly” attack involving multiple blows that landed while the referee was defenseless on the ground. “The footage shows his gusto in punching and kicking the victim.” In the wake of the incident, the Bankstown District Amateur Football Association began a trial of referees using body cameras in its senior men’s matches.
