In a recent KHL hockey game in Russia, fans of hometown Dinamo Minsk began throwing cigarette lighters and other foreign objects on the ice and at the bench of visiting Vityaz (Moscow) near the end of the game. This drove head coach (and former NHL player) Andrei Nazarov to grab a stick and start swinging it at some spectators behind him, with only the glass barrier preventing Nazarov from hitting someone.
Nazarov's reaction may be understandable, but you can't attack fans with a stick. Not surprisingly, Nazarov received a match penalty, and will probably receive a fine and/or suspension. He's fortunate that he didn't hurt someone, or he could have ended up in jail.
