Parents arrested after fight at Texas girls' softball game

Two parents were arrested after a brawl at a 12-year-old girls' softball game in Sugar Land, Texas, left two men injured.

A violent brawl erupted at a youth softball game at Imperial Park in Sugar Land, Texas on Saturday, resulting in two serious injuries and criminal charges against a married couple.

Kiarious Marshun Hall and his wife Jazmine Hall were attending their daughter's game when a dispute began over Kiarious's behaviour during opposing team at-bats. According to court records, a parent from the opposing Timbergrove Thunder team approached Hall and told him he 'couldn't cheer before the players pitched the ball.'

Video footage reviewed by investigators showed Kiarious striking the man in the face with a metal water bottle, knocking him unconscious. The victim suffered severe injuries including a fractured skull, broken jaw and brain bleeds, and remains hospitalized at St. Luke's Hospital.

Gary Greaser, a grandfather at the game, attempted to intervene and disarm Kiarious before he could strike anyone else. 'I said "You can't do this." I took him, I wanted to disarm the guy, because he's going to do it to somebody else,' Greaser said. As Greaser intervened, Jazmine allegedly pushed him, and both fell into bushes. Greaser sustained a broken hip and required seven stitches on his chin.

Kiarious claimed to investigators his actions were in self-defence after he was 'elbowed and poked' in the chest, but court documents stated the video did not support that claim. Both parents now face criminal charges related to the incident.
