Fan Runs Onto Suntrust Park Field During Wednesday's Braves Game
Multiple videos from social media show a fan running on the field at Suntrust Park Wednesday and eventually getting tackled by security.
SMYRNA, GA — A man in Atlanta may have to get used to watching games occurring at Suntrust Park on TV after he ran onto the field Wednesday night.
Videos from around social media show an unnamed man jumping the security fence around the stands and running around the field during the ninth inning. Security guards chased him down until he was tackled.
Major League Baseball safety rules say that, "for the safety and enjoyment of all, guests are reminded to not interfere with a ball in play or trespass onto the playing field. Interference and trespassing are prohibited by Atlanta Braves policy and Cobb County Ordinance. Persons who violate this ordinance are subject to ejection and/or arrest and prosecution."
