The fight took place just before 7 p.m. at St. Matthew Catholic Church\u2019s gymnasium, in the 10700 block of Wurzbach Road.<\/p>\n
Sources told KSAT Investigates the game was between St. Matthew and St. Peter the Apostle of Boerne.<\/p>\n
During a game for girls under the age of 10, Contreras and the other coach were assessed technical fouls.<\/p>\n
Footage shows Contreras was then ejected after making contact with the other coach.<\/p>\n
The altercation escalated as it spilled out of the gymnasium.<\/p>\n
Contreras was seen on video asking the other coach, \u201cYou wanna talk s*** with me?\u201d before putting him in a headlock.<\/p>\n
The off-duty sergeant was then pushed to the ground by several intervening parents, the footage shows, as children can be heard crying and screaming in the background.<\/p>\n
Contreras then gets up, squaring up with one of the parents and said, \u201cYou wanna push me? Let\u2019s go, man! Let\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n
The off-duty sergeant is then seen on video saying, \u201cMotherf*****. Come on, motherf*****. Let\u2019s go, come on!\u201d<\/p>\n
Contreras and the man then exchanged several punches, the footage shows, as other parents screamed to \u201ccall the cops.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the fight, a separate video shows Contreras confronting a woman and asking her, \u201cWhere\u2019s your p**** husband? Who the f*** are you to get in the way then?\u201d<\/p>\n
The video concludes with a man putting his hand on Contreras\u2019 shoulder and walking with him off-camera.<\/p>\n
The department told KSAT Investigates that officers were called to the scene, but left without taking anyone into custody, since there was no longer a complainant on scene to file a report.<\/p>\n
A department spokesperson said officials were not aware that an off-duty sergeant was part of the fight until KSAT reached out for comment on the incident.<\/p>\n
SAPD said an internal investigation has been opened.<\/p>\n
KSAT Investigates reached out to the Catholic Youth Organization of the Archdiocese of San Antonio.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the archdiocese said it was notified of the incident Monday, and an investigation into the incident has been opened.<\/p>\n
