The referee was knocked unconscious when she tried to stop the fight

 

The weekend taekwondo match between teams from Chengmai and Haikou at the Hainan provincial sports meeting had got out of control. A contestant in a match went overboard by striking a female referee, seriously breaking the rules of the taekwondo sport.

 

Angry with what he thought were unfair calls, a male contestant punched a female referee in the face at the taekwondo match between teams from Chengmai and Haikou at the Hainan provincial sports meeting on Sunday.

 

The referee was knocked unconscious when she tried to stop the fight between the two teams. But her ordeal did not achieve peace, as the two sides engaged in more fighting.

 

Hainan Provincial Sports Centre is investigating the incidence.
