On Saturday night North American fans watched UFC 221 live from Perth in Western Australia. The event, which was headlined by Luke Rockhold vs. Yoel Romero, began at around 6:30am local time (Sunday).

Western Australia Today reports that some fans exiting Perth Arena, at around 3:00pm, allegedly attacked public transport authority officers on their rides home. According to a police spokesperson, there was an incident involving a large group of people on a train on the Mandurah line between Perth and Wellard.

The group were allegedly “intoxicated and becoming loud and abusive.” Public transport authority officers asked the group to calm down and requested that they leave the train at the next available station, which in this case was Bull Creek Station.

When the group got off at Bull Creek, it’s alleged that the group engaged in an altercation with transit officers. During this scene, it is claimed that a 32-year-old officer was kicked in the head, causing him to lose consciousness.

That officer was taken to Fiona Stanley Hospital suffering a severe concussion and swelling and bruising to the back and side of his head. A second officer present had swelling and bruising on the side of his face. An assailant reportedly spat in that officer’s face multiple times.

In connection to the attacks, one 20-year-old man has been charged with two counts of acts or omission likely to endanger life, health or safety of any person and one count of assault on a public officer.

A 25-year-old man has been charged with obstructing a public officer, assault on a public officer, escape from lawful custody and possessing heroin.

Despite the availability of alcohol, police said that the crowd was mostly well behaved.

Both men arrested for the attack on the PTA officers are considered innocent until proven guilty.

Alcohol and stupidity always seem to go hand and hand..
 
The cops probably provoked them, so I don't feel bad for them.
 
Rockhold couldn't land the big one on Yoel, had to seek an easier target
 
If the kick was when the officer was on the ground then it was a Pride fan.
 
Is normal, I'm actually suprised at the low level of violence surrounding the event
 
The cops probably provoked them, so I don't feel bad for them.
That's a pretty big assumption.

Loud drunks and the middle of the day spell disaster, I'll wait for the full story to come out
 
You don’t just throw a head kick, he had to have set it up with punches so this story sounds inaccurate. And to land a clean head kick KO while drunk and on heroin on a trained officer sounds highly unlikely.
 
Ladies and gentlemen. We have now found CM Punk’s next opponent
 
Well, you can’t just go messing with UFC fans. He’s obviously lucky it wasn’t a sherdogger otherwise we ain’t talking assault..we’re talking murder.
 
Sad but true. The dickheads had left the train, just let them go.

So just let these drunk fucks loose in a subway station, or whatever. Without any regard for the public in that station. It’s their fuckin job to keep transit users safe. That’s kinda why they have these officers.

Did you even think before you hit “ post reply “ ?

Smarten up, ffs.
