On Sept 26, here in Utah, we had a varsity official assaulted after a game. After the game, 4 of the officials immediately left the field. When they got to the school doors, they realized one was still on the field talking with a coach. So 3 went inside while one waited at the door for the foolish 5th official on the field. While standing there holding the door, that official was assaulted from behind by a man on crutches. He was actually hit with one of the crutches and either knocked out or knocked silly because he had to be helped into the locker room. Yes, the assailant was arrested. We talked about this in our Monday meeting the following week, but it should go out everywhere. After the game, immediately leave the field no matter what.
