Khodr Yaghi has been refereeing soccer for 24 years and will continue to do so despite having his jaw broken in three places.
“This is a ref,mate,and he’s a good one,” one person protesting against the violence can be heard saying on the video. The attacker then circled back before he was restrained.
The video then shows Yaghi – who officiates games in the NSW state soccer league as well as in district competitions – bleeding from the mouth. He said that his jaw was broken in three places and he had lost three teeth.
