Luis Fonseca, referee of the Viseu Football Association, was attacked by a fan in the aftermath of last Sunday's 1-1 clash between Vila Cha de Sa and Molelos.
The game, which saw hosts' goalscorer Jorge handed a red card in the 94th minute, included officiating that left one fan incensed to the point of dragging Fonseca from his car following the game's conclusion.
WATCH: Kuyt's still got it at 36!
The ultra screamed 'Gatuno!' (thief) at the official, wielding a wooden plank as he issued his threats.
Since the incident, calls have been made to have a mandatory police presence in the lower leagues, which is currently not a requirement. In addition, former referee Duarte Gomes claims 36 referees have been assaulted in Portugal in the last 5 months.
