Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - MIAMI — The head of the Colombian Football Federation, Ramón Jesurún, and his son have been arrested, following a brawl at Sunday's Copa América final in Miami.
Jesurún, 71, and Ramón Jamil Jesurún, 43, were held on charges of battery involving an official or an employee, said the Miami-Dade Police Department.
The charges relate to the brawl at the stadium after Colombia lost to Argentina 0-1 in extra time.
Neither Jesurún nor his son have publicly commented on the issue.
In a statement sent to the BBC, the Miami-Dade Police Department said the incident had happened just after the football match ended at the Hard Rock Stadium in the south-eastern US state.
Jesurún and his son were "walking towards the entrance of the field", it said, but they became "irate and began shouting" at one of the security officers, who was instructed by his management to temporarily delay people from going further.
The police said the officer had "placed an open palm" on the chest of Jesurún's son to guide him back.
Jesurún then pushed the officer, they said, while his son grabbed the officer's neck and pulled him to the ground, punching him and kicking him in the head.
Jesurún's son also grabbed and pushed a female official who tried to assist, the police said.
It added that the two men had also punched a security manager.
Jesurún, his son and other family members are believed to have been trying to go on the pitch to take part in the awards ceremony.
The Colombian Football Federation made no immediate comment on the issue.
