A match in the fourth tier of Bulgarian football had to be abandoned due to the referee being chased from the pitch by players and other match officials, reports said.
In the video below referee can be seen getting ready to book a player who begins to approach for a face to face confrontation.
Eventually a yellow card is brandished, but a player who looks to be the captain enters the shot and snatches it away in an aggressive manner.
Another player then swings for the referee who begins to run for his life as an angry mob forms behind him.
