WASHINGTON (AP/KXAN) - Police say a man was punched in the face after grabbing a Dallas Cowboys flag from a car in downtown Washington.
D.C. police Lt. Eric Hayes said someone snatched the flag from a car as it was stopped in traffic Tuesday evening and apparently threw it to the ground.
Police and witnesses say that by the time the man crossed the street, someone exited the car and struck him in the face before driving away.
Police say the incident may have been motivated by team loyalty, or the motorist might not have wanted anyone to touch his car. Police say a man was taken from the scene to be treated for a bruised forehead.
