Egypt coaching staff in altercation with Dallas police on match day

A video showing a confrontation between Egypt's coaching staff and Dallas police officers has gone viral on social media. The incident occurred on the day of Egypt's World Cup Round of 32 match against Australia, at the hotel where the team is staying.

The footage shows an argument over a player being stopped from taking a photo, which escalated into pushing and shoving.

According to Spanish media outlet AS and Argentine outlet TYC Sports, the altercation began when Egypt assistant coach Ibrahim Hassan, brother of head coach Hossam Hassan, confronted the police officer in charge. He was then pushed by the officer. Head coach Hossam Hassan also became involved, engaging in a physical scuffle with the officers.

The footage shows one officer aggressively advancing towards the Egyptian team members, while fellow officers attempted to calm the situation. Bystanders later intervened, and Hossam Hassan was escorted away from the scene.

Egypt are set to face Australia in the Round of 32 later tonight at 12:00 am Bangladesh time.
