The New York Jets and their fans have never been considered classy and on Sunday after NY defeated the New England Patriots, one fan took things into his own hands, as video emerged of a man hitting a woman wearing a Patriots jersey and soon afterwards police were investigating the incident.
According to the NY Daily News, the man in the video is Kurt Paschke, a man that was convicted of murder for a stabbing and served three years for it. The report says that he was convicted as a teen for stabling Henri Ferrer in a fight in a pizza restaurant in Long Island and he went to state prison for the crime.
The Daily News writes that the woman, Boston area resident Jaclyn Nugent, was identified in the video and the fact that Paschke was the man in the video made Ferrer's family "upset," according to the report. According to NBC.com, charges against Paschke will be announced on Tuesday and the Daily News reported that Paschke's mother said that he was "protecting: himself and that the woman flicked "blood" at his mother and that is why the fight started. She added that Patriots fans were being rowdy and "jumped" them after the game.
In the video he can be seen in the number 80 Wayne Chrebet jersey and he is seen hitting the woman in a Patriots jersey and then the fight was broken up. Charges are expected Tuesday.
"He murdered my son, and he got a minimum sentence for killing a 17-year-old boy," Ferrer's father, Robert Ferrer, told the Daily News. "He got away with it because his father is a sergeant."
