Washington man faces assault charges after allegedly attacking teen referees during son's hockey game

'Fox & Friends' discusses a Seattle father being charged with assault after allegedly shoving two child referees at a local youth hockey game.

A man from Washington state is facing assault charges after he was accused of shoving two teenage referees during his son’s hockey game, which was captured on video by security cameras. 

Uriel Isaac Cortes Gonzalez, 42, is facing two counts of misdemeanor assault after police say he attacked two referees, both under the age of 15, in an "unprovoked" incident during a youth hockey game Sunday. 

According to court records, officials with the Seattle Police Department received reports of an "irate parent" assaulting two teenage refs at the Kraken Community Iceplex Sunday just before noon.

The caller told a dispatcher the man had left before the game ended, but he was later located by police at a traffic light near the complex. 

Gonzalez told police he witnessed his son being assaulted by another player from the opposing team during the game, according to arrest records. He alleged his son was "punched and kicked for about thirty seconds, and the referees did nothing to stop the assault." 

He claimed he walked to the ice to break up the fight and that he shoved one referee to get to his son. He also claimed he was unaware the game officials were minors.
