Egypt team staffer in altercation with Dallas police
DALLAS — An Egyptian team staffer was involved in an altercation Thursday with a Dallas police officer in the lobby of the team’s hotel, the night before the team’s knockout match against Australia.
A video circulated by Al Jazeera and other outlets shows a man identified as team manager Ibrahim Hassan, a longtime national team player and brother of Egyptian coach Hossam Hassan, in a verbal and physical confrontation with the officer, whose name hasn’t been released.
The video shows the officer trying to block Hassan from approaching two other people. The officer can be seen shouting “back off” and shoving someone, but bystanders block the view of who he shoved. A second man in a T-shirt marked “Egypt” is seen a few seconds later confronting the Dallas officer. The altercation lasted a few more seconds before other people and at least one other Dallas police officer intervened.
The Dallas Police Department said that the incident happened at 10:50 p.m. Thursday at the Westin Hotel and that its officers “responded to the Westin at the request of hotel security regarding an individual without event credentials attempting to gain access.”
“The situation was resolved on scene, and DPD met with representatives of the team to address their concerns. The matter has since been resolved,” the department said in an emailed statement.
The department didn’t respond to follow-up questions via email or voice message, and the Egyptian Embassy and Egyptian Football Association didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes and his team are discussing dropping out of the crowded Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The conversations come as Democratic officials in the state brace for damaging media reports about Barnes expected to hit in the coming hours. Barnes and his team have been on calls Thursday to discuss how to proceed, according to the people, granted anonymity to share private details.
The primary had become increasingly messy as more moderate leaning Democrats like Barnes have tried to stave off Democratic socialist Francesca Hong’s rise, worried her victory could boost presumed Republican nominee Tom Tiffany. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ endorsement of David Crowley — who reentered the race in the final stretch — further complicated the moderate coalition.
A spokesperson for Barnes’ campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
