A huge brawl erupted at the Boys AAA provincial soccer tournament in Burnaby Friday afternoon, after Coquitlam’s Dr. Charles Best Secondary beat North Delta Secondary 3-2 in overtime.
Spectators, players, coaches and parents were involved in the mass physical altercation after a Coquitlam fan began taunting the losing team.
The fan was knocked to the ground and was kicked several times.
After the fight calmed down and everyone was separated, a male teacher asked the beaten youth if he was all right.
“I’m f—–g awesome and it’s okay. I’ve already got a (championship) ring.”
The teacher then grabbed him and asked someone to see if they could find his parents.
The youth struggled and broke free of the teacher’s grip, jumped the gate surrounding the soccer field, and casually walked away.
About nine RCMP cars responded to a 911 call from the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex.
