Samoa Sevens player Gordon Langkilde has been arrested and charged with assault following the tunnel bust-up at the Rugby World Cup Sevens that left three Welsh players injured.
The incident occurred in the tunnel at AT&T Park on Saturday after Samoa’s 24-19 defeat to Wales. The apparently unprovoked attack left Wales player Tom Williams with tournament-ending injuries – a broken nose and fractured cheekbone, while another 26-year-old Welsh player sustained facial injuries along with a 24-year-old team-mate, police said.
A statement from the San Francisco Police Department said Langkilde had been charged with aggravated assault and battery causing serious bodily injury.
