No security came to my aid - Assaulted female ref laments

Theresa Bremansu, the female referee who was assaulted by fans during a Normalization Committee Special Women's Competition match says no security personnel came to her rescue when she was attacked.

Madam Bremansu was the centre referee in charge of the first-leg semi-final game between Prison Ladies and Ampem Darkoa Ladies at the Army Park in Sunyani.

According to reports, she was assaulted by some irate fans of Prison Ladies for not adding enough added time during the tie.

The fans rushed the pitch after the game and assaulted the referee, blaming her for causing their team - Prison Ladies - to lose the clash 1-0.

She told Accra-based Asempa FM that she was attacked in the full glare of the public but no one came to her rescue.

She said she was beaten like an armed robber by a male fan and her cries drew no sympathy from the spectators.
