Streaker Tased As He Runs Onto Field And Interrupts Baseball Game

A baseball fan was tased after he dashed onto the playing field, disrupting the game in progress.

We all enjoy sports, right? However, some people really get carried away while they're watching.

And although some might argue it's just fans looking to stir up trouble, there are indeed times when individuals disrupt the game.

On June 11, during the ninth inning of a matchup between the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians, a fan burst onto the field.

A video capturing this incident from another spectator’s perspective in the stadium has become widely shared on social media.

The fan, wearing a retro Johnny Bench jersey, got onto the outfield to create some disruption.

He seemed to shout something at Guardians outfielder Tyler Freeman and then performed a backflip while being chased by the police.

Honestly, the backflip was quite spectacular, especially since he executed it right in front of another spectator.

The audience cheered for what was undeniably a stunning display, just as a second security guard made his way onto the field.

However, before the man could make his escape, another security guard swiftly pulled out a taser and used it.

The fan was effectively immobilized and collapsed to the ground.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, a criminal complaint lodged in Hamilton Municipal Court named the fan as 19-year-old William Hendon from Cleves, Ohio.

He is now facing charges of felony criminal trespass, obstructing official business, and a misdemeanor.

This marked the end of the unfortunate incident on the field.

With the video of the event spreading across social media, numerous people have voiced their opinions.

"I mean technically he's resisting arrest after running a second time," someone wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"Did he really have to use his taser on a 15-year-old boy, lowkey embarrassing," another commented.

A third observer noted, "Tasing is currently under consideration for pitch clock violations and balks in 2025 by MLB."

The conversation didn’t end there, as another MLB enthusiast commented: "This is too far. If it's a Dodgers fan you go lethal but all other fans this is too much."

In terms of the actual game, the Guardians clinched a 5-3 victory.

This win extended their lead in the AL Central to five games.
