mikeyspizzaPanthers Fan Sucker Punches other Fan at Game
The graphic video of him punching the other guy has been circulating on the local news and local facebook groups all day. Now, he has been ID'd and arrested! Glad they got him!
http://www.wsoctv.com/news/loc...nching-man/624205330CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested a Panthers fan accused of sucker-punching an older fan Thursday night in the upper deck of Bank of America stadium during the Panthers versus Eagles game.
Kyle Adam Maraghy is charged with simple assault and is being taken to Mecklenburg County jail.
Channel 9 looked into Maraghy's past and found he was charged with assault in 2013 but those charges were dropped.
In the video, which was posted on Instagram by user "odubco," it shows the man, now identified as Maraghy, standing up in a black Cam Newton jersey, turning around and punching a 62-year-old man in the face.
Channel 9 reporter Tina Terry spoke to the person who shot the video, who told her that Maraghy was standing during much of the game. People behind him became agitated and they started to argue.
Eventually, the video shows Maraghy turning around and punching the man sitting behind him in the face.
In the video, the man who was punched begins bleeding and remains seated while the suspect continues to punch him repeatedly.
In the video, several other fans try to break up the incident before the attacker and a woman quickly leave.
As the video spread across social media Friday morning, people were calling for the man to be caught and charges to be filed.
The victim was treated at the stadium and released.
Carolina Panthers statement on the incident:
“We have reviewed video tape of the incident and have identified the perpetrator. We are working with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department to pursue charges to the fullest extent of the law," Panthers officials released in a statement. "The Carolina Panthers are committed to a fan-friendly and family-friendly stadium experience. The behavior exhibited by the perpetrator is unacceptable and will not be condoned at Bank of America Stadium.”

sigarmsVinTerrible, honestly I’m ashamed to see that happen here in Charlotte. It’s a sporting event. No need to act like that.

FishOnThat dude is screwed. The victim needs to be talking to a good attorney.

comet24What a D-bag. Throws punch at a 60 some year old guy.
I hope he spends some time in a good old "bang him in the bum" jail.

GustoferI'm curious what the older guy said to Maraghy.
Not defending what happened, but pointing your finger in someone else's face and saying something to set them off might just...well...set them off.

He probably told him to sit his dumb butt down. Little punk was apparently being an obnoxious cur.

swageI'm not sure why he was only charged with assault.
Here in Ohio if that cut needed two stitches it becomes felonious assault.

Sig209Not really the true definition of sucker punch though.
Two men facing each other in an argument. One punched, the other wasn't prepared but should have been.
Sucker punch is from behind or side-angle on an unaware opponent.
Glad they caught the guy. Would love to know the objective full story.

They didn't square off or touch gloves. Just because someone has a disagreement doesn't mean it's an automatic fight for both sides.

Don't know what world you live in, but that's a sucker punch.
