SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ―A soccer referee was stabbed by a heckler after weeks of harassment, and police said the incident may have been the result of pent-up road rage.

The referee of an unsanctioned soccer league in Natomas, whose identity has not been released, was apparently involved in a near-collision with another man in a nearby parking lot three weeks before the stabbing, according to the Sacramento Police Department.

The other man’s anger built up over a week and he ended up on the sidelines of a soccer game the next weekend, heckling the same referee.
