A father of a 6th grade boy got into a fight with the child’s basketball coach after a game. The fight ended with the father, Timothy Lee Forbes, biting of a piece of the coaches ear. The man was taken to the hospital and rushed into surgery where the part of the ear that had been bitten off was reattached. Timothy Forbes attempted to leave the gym when the authorities arrived but later turned himself in to the Springfield Courthouse on Monday. USA Today reports:
Another disturbing story about out-of-control parents and youth sports. An angry dad allegedly attacked a 6th grade basketball coach after his son’s team lost a game, then bit off part of the coach’s ear.
The stricken coach was rushed to a local hospital where he underwent surgery to have the severed portion of his ear reattached.
The attack occurred Friday night at Holy Name School in Springfield, Mass., according to local TV station WWLP. After his son’s team lost in the Catholic Youth Organization finals, Timothy Lee Forbes punched the winning coach, then bit off part of his ear, said Hampden assistant district attorney Marie Angers. Several of the 10-12 year old kids, who had gathered on the court to shake hands, were knocked to the floor and left crying after the incident.
