The security officer who endured the head kick was transported to a local hospital by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue after the incident.
They were booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami just after 4:10 a.m. local time on Monday. The younger Jesurún remained in jail, pending a $1,000 bond, late Monday evening, while his father was released.
They were among 27 people arrested by the Miami-Dade Police Department during the final, while 55 others were ejected from the stadium.
