The umpire, identified as Reinaldo Mora, was standing by the backstop just after a game when a man identified by police as Jorge Aponte Gonzalez walked up from behind and punched him in the head, according to video released by the Osceola County Sheriff's Office in central Florida.

The video shows Mora immediately fall to the ground and concerned players and parents run up to help, with two men restraining Gonzalez after the April 18 attack at a local high school.
