During a Fox News broadcast from Mexico's Estadio Azteca, the situation abruptly turned chaotic. Co-commentator Jacqui Oatley noticed Barton had been struck by an object.
“Warren, you’ve actually got a cut on your head. You’re bleeding like crazy. I’m not joking. What was that, a bottle?” Oatley reportedly said during the broadcast, according to DPA. Barton, however, tried to downplay the incident: “No, it’s fine. I’m alright. Whatever it was, it was sharp, but I’m okay.”
The duo had already endured a “beer shower” from fans in the first half. Later, the former Newcastle player was reportedly hit directly by a bottle. Colombia ultimately celebrated a 3-1 victory.
