Brazilian football referee pulls gun on the pitch after quarrel over red card (photos)

A Brazilian football referee did something that most people have never seen before. He pulled a gun on the pitch during a dispute with players. Gabriel Murta was kicked and slapped by players during a match over the weekend, after he gave a player a red card.

The referee, who is said to be a policeman by day, ran to the changing rooms and returned to the pitch with his service gun and confronted the players. But thankfully, he didn't shoot as his colleagues restrained him. He is said to be facing disciplinary actions.
