North Texas Couple Brutally Attacked After Dallas Cowboys Game; Suspect arrested, police said

A North Texas couple is recovering from a brutal attack after a Dallas Cowboys game last month that sent them to the hospital.

Lindsey and Wenceslao Gonzalez told KTVT-TV that the Sept. 22 attack, in which Lindsey suffered multiple fractures to her face and Wenceslao suffered torn ligaments in his leg, turned their world upside down.

The couple and their daughter had just left AT&T Stadium in Arlington after attending their first Cowboys game. According to KTVT, they saw a man yelling at a young woman and tried to intervene.

“She was sobbing and looked scared, and she looked very close to my daughter's age,” Lindsey Gonzalez told KTVT.

The man punched Wenceslao Gonzalez in the face and then punched Lindsey Gonzalez when she tried to separate the two. Witnesses told police that the suspect also kicked Lindsey Gonzalez in the face while she was unconscious on the ground, KTVT reported.

Rafael Antonio Ramirez, 32, was arrested in connection with the attack. According to court records, he faces two counts of assault. He was released from the Tarrant County Jail on September 23rd.

“It's good that you're trying to be a good Samaritan, but at the same time, what happens if I want to be a good Samaritan?” Wenceslao Gonzalez told KTVT.

The 39-year-old underwent surgery to repair torn ligaments in his leg and neither he nor his wife have been able to work since the attack, KTVT reported. Lindsey Gonzalez, 40, suffered significant damage to her face, including a broken jaw and fractures to her nose and around her left eye.

The couple said they hoped what happened to them was a wake-up call for the young woman they helped.

“If I saved her, then it was worth it,” Lindsey Gonzalez told KTVT. “If I save one person or if I help one person or one woman or anyone by publishing my story, then it’s worth it.”
