Conn. youth football coach arrested for shoving 7-year-old player from opposing team to ground: cops

Daniel Fazio, 38, an assistant coach with the New Milford Bulls, allegedly roughed up the kid on the field during a game against the Water-Oak Youth Football Team, WFSB reported.

The child was not injured, but Fazio was promptly fired and arrested.

β€œ[We] do not condone the recent behavior displayed by our former assistant coach,” the Bulls said in a statement. β€œThe behavior of the individual is not representative of the sentiments, moral compass, or values of the entirety of the program.”

Fazio was charged with second-degree breach of peace, disorderly conduct and risk of injury to a child.

He posted a $20,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 2.
