Serious incident: Arbitrator injured, match interrupted

Incident Grave to the Supporters’ Floor: The Arbitrator Assistant Porté en Étalement

A major incident almost interrupted the meeting between [Name of Club 1] and [Name of Club 2] this [Day of the Week]. A projectile was launched at the address of Assistant Adjudicator Letexier just before the break. The arbitrator immediately made the decision to interrupt the meeting, creating palpable tension.

Faced with this threat, the delegate of the meeting quickly analysed the situation. He concluded that the projectile had been launched from the area between the Paris and Henri-Point stands, probably since the open visitor parking for sale. The assistant arbitrator, slightly stunned, opted for a precautionary measure and went to the changing rooms. A doctor was dispatched to carry out checks, fortunately revealing that he had not suffered any injuries.

After a brief rest, the assistant referee stated that he was fit to resume the game. Following this incident, an emergency protocol was implemented, immediately informing the prefecture, the prosecutor’s office and both clubs. A short delay was granted to the teams, and the game resumed at 10:15 p.m., allowing the teams to play the remaining four minutes of the first period.
