(US) 36-year-old Bassel Abdul-Amir Saad, saw red after he was shown the a second yellow card for tripping up an opponent on Sunday at a friendly football match at Mies Park on 32305 West Chicago Sunday. So he punched the referee John Bieniewicz in the throat,who was taken to hospital critically injured and who died Tuesday morning at Detroit Receiving Hospital
Like a true resident of Dearborn, Bassel Abdul-Amir Saad did a runner with one of his mates by jumping in their car. ... Thankfully a couple of players were able to take pictures of the fleeting vehicle (and the license plate). Subsequently, the police found the car and the driver, which lead to this piece of shite. Bassel's attorney, Brian Berry, told the Detroit Free Press Saad is not guilty of the charge. In an e-mail, Berry said his client cooperated with the police investigation and voluntarily turned himself in.
Well in light of that 'my client is innocent' Saad has been charged with assault with Intent to Do Great Bodily Harm and was arraigned Monday afternoon in 16th District Court in Livonia. If convicted, he could spend 10 years in prison. Saad also received a $500,000 cash/surety bond. I suppose in light of Mr Bieniewicz's death this morning, the charge will be changed to..murder or manslaughter.
Saad's soccer team has been kicked out of the league.
Ramadan death toll is now at 592
