He witnessed the attack and told 9News the alleged aggressors rounded his son up “like a pack of wolves”.

9News understands the violence erupted after Mr Jones allegedly got into a verbal altercation with some of the Logan supporters.

“All of a sudden, I saw a punch,” the elder Mr Jones said.

“Their friends rounded my son up like a pack of wolves and attacked him.”

The violent scuffle in the stands spilled out onto the field, ultimately leading to the 35-year-old being struck in the head.

“He’s got multiple fractures,” Mr Jones said.

A 59-year-old woman was also injured.

Two more men were charged today over the alleged assault.

Barry Sepulona, 24, is facing a charge of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm.
