2 women elbowed after youth soccer game

HURST — Two women were assaulted after a youth soccer match Sunday afternoon at a Hurst park, police said Monday. The victims — a 20-year-old Lake Dallas woman and a 46-year-old Hickory Creek woman — were elbowed, but they were not seriously injured, Hurst police said. The incident happened shortly before 5:30 p.m. at Hurst Community Park at Pipeline and Precinct Line roads. Game officials called police after parents got into a heated argument. A 27-year-old North Richland Hills man is accused of walking through the group and striking the women, according to a police report. It was the second reported incident of violent behavior by adults in two weeks at sporting events in Northeast Tarrant County. In Grapevine on Nov. 1, an adult soccer player kicked a referee after being penalized and then ran into nearby woods, Grapevine police said Monday. That incident happened shortly after 1:30 p.m. at a soccer field at Meadowmere Park near Lake Grapevine.
