Violent Act Sees Fan Hospitalized in Belgium

The fan was left bleeding, so much so that they had to be taken to the hospital.

The team is apparently known for doing stupid things, as now other teams are refusing to play them saying that this is the final straw.
Team Issues Statement on the Incident and Forces Player to Apologize
The Team's executive immediately issued a statement on the incident, condemning the violence and stating that the player would be forced to write a letter to the fan and the league asking for forgiveness for his actions.
"This is absolutely not acceptable, we cannot condone this in any way," said HYC Chair Frank Van Reeth. "We as a club therefore want to offer our sincere apologies to the supporter involved."
"The player who dealt the blow will soon be called to the carpet. Meanwhile, he himself has already sent a letter of apology to the federation to express his regret. He allegedly succumbed to the tirade of insults from some supporters and is now incredibly sorry for it. The fact remains, of course, that this should never have happened."
