MD Officer Receives Concussion During Fight At Football Game Over Pro-Trump Clothes

An Anne Arundel police officer was punched twice in the head at a high school football game last month, another example of rising political and racial tensions in the county.

The officer, who has not been identified, was treated for a concussion after being punched at the Old Mill-North County game in Glen Burnie on Sept. 27, said Sgt. Jackie Davis, a police spokeswoman.

The officer was one of several escorting unruly spectators from the game after arguments and a fight broke out over clothing printed with slogans supporting President Donald Trump.

The incident, another at the Severna Park-Arundel game on Sept. 13 and others have prompted extra awareness from police, Davis said.
