A Brazilian football referee pulled out 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.
He didn't shoot as his colleagues restrained him. He is said to be facing disciplinary actions.
