Club America manager claims Toronto Police hit his players during tunnel incident

There have been some wild press conferences in BMO Field, but perhaps none more so than Club America manager Miguel Herrera delivered tonight after his side fell 3-1 to Toronto FC. He made a number of headline-grabbing statements, but surely none more shocking than an allegation that his players were assaulted by Toronto police officers during a halftime incident in the locker room area.
