Egypt’s national team manager was involved in a heated altercation with a Dallas police officer while at their hotel on Thursday, July 2, the night before the team’s knockout match against Australia, according to local news reports.
Footage filmed by Trenton Ryan shows a Dallas police officer approaching a man wearing a black “Egypt” staff shirt while a player was taking a photo with a young fan.
The man was identified in reports as Ibrahim Hassan, team manager and brother of Egyptian coach Hossam Hassan.
The officer got in between Hassan and the player, pushing the team manager back as other Egypt staff members started getting involved in the altercation.

So incredibly uncivilized
Ah yes. The American Dukes of Hazard cops 😂😂
Cops power tripping as per usual
This is false advertising cop shoves Egyptian World Cup manager. That’s the correct title.
Yep the the cop started it that's correct sir
Come to New Zealand
More like Dallas cop shoves Egypt coach and finds out he ain't as tough as he thought he was. 😂😂😂😂
Arrest on the spot. These arabs have no respect for police in any country they go to.
Why did he let them hug him?
Roid rage vs. roid rage.
DALLAS GOT RACISTS HOGS ROAMING IN UNIFORM ALL AROUND
What is this escalation for what ? I see a player and fans
There has to be some crazy misunderstanding, ive delt with police in my youth in the USA aa long as your complaint and follow their directions there's no problem.
Only 1 i had a bad experience he was having a bad day maybe or…
There's gota be more to this story than just a power hungry officer, something was reported or???
Kick them out
this is why terrorists shouldn't be a loud in this country……
That Egyptian better calm his self
Lil bro thinks he is in egypt where lawlessness exists
Disgusting behavior! How many years in jail would an American citizen spend if they pushed an Egyptian cop! They should have been arrested!
I can only imagine what would have taken place if this was after the Argentina game.
Cop didnt read the situation correctly and escalated things
These Egyptians are getting into it on the field and in the hotel vs police. Clearly, they have an aggressive nature to them and lack control
Nightstick time.
Welcome to the united police states of America, buddy.
What an idiotic police officer. Should be fired at the spot and removed of all benefits, only to make him realize how imbecile he was – Egyptian team taking pictures with children during World Cup… # America
hope they are on the Guantanamo Express
The cop put his hands on the older gentleman first from 0:04 to 0:08, tapping him multiple times, then yelling, and shoving the man. That is what set off the manager. Don't think for one second that all those cops there would not have arrested the manager if he was in the wrong. But instead they restrained the cop.
Put him face down send him to gitmo , free vacation to cuba until he learns manners
He can be a tough guy in a cell for a weekend
Coward cop
Wouldn't do that without a badge and a gun
Before the cop pushes him, if you look close, youll see the guy put his hands on the cops arms/chest area, thats when the cop explodes. If you look, you WILL see those hands on the cop before he starts yelling "BACK OFF!" and he pushes the coach.
I have no idea what is going on in this clip, and no idea what the dispute was about.
Assault P.O. Should have been arrested on the spot !
steroid monsters again
The cop assaulted the manager.
I DEMAND he be arrested for assault on an officer immediately.
And he was not arrested. Great example
Well well well…
You don’t act like that idiot when you come to somebody else’s country
They have no respect for other countries, could you image if you did that to Egyptian police, you be in jail facing a death penalty.
Escalating as usual
The racism in this country is spectacular. Disheartening and pathetic… is all i can say. 🍼
He clearly pushed the security guy first. Look carefully.
