A Swedish footballer has been attacked by a gang of women after a dispute over a restaurant order. BK Hacken striker Mathias Ranegie was left bleeding heavily after being punched in the face by an enraged woman outside a Gothenburg café on Sunday (February 6).
Ranegie, who plays in Sweden’s top-flight Allvenskan league, was having breakfast with Turkish-league midfielder Gustav Svensson when the row erupted between the footballers and a table of seven women in their twenties who believed they had placed their order first.
“They wanted to take our food and started arguing with us, yelling a lot of s**t and behaving aggressively,” Ranegie told Expressen newspaper.
Police were called to the scene and Ranegie and Svensson were escorted out, but the women spilled onto the street after the footballers, according to reports. Police then witnessed one woman punch Ranegie in the face, leaving him bleeding heavily from the eyebrow.
“The police sat in their car across the street. I got a good hit and have a big scar on my face now. But what should I have done? I could not fight back against a girl,” he told Expressen.
One woman is now under official suspicion of assault while the rest have been reported by the footballers for mobbing.
I have would not any problem to defend myself from someone who aims to punch me, even if it is a woman. Selfdefence is lawful towards men and women
There is nothing to laugh about it. He found himself in a situation where he could not do anything, and everything he would have done could have been used against him. This group of ladies were a bunch of cowards because they knew he would not fight back and took advantage of it
God, well this is hard. It’s insane of course, and horrible, oh the violence. At the same time though, I have a hard time not laughing out loud. This must have looked insane. I am just glad, the police actually saw the woman hit Ranegie otherwise it would have been a humiliating story for him. Being chased to the streets by a gang of women :-).
