An unruly fan’s confrontation with an usher at Nationals Park turned bloody.
It all started innocently enough as a pair of ushers were captured on video trying to remove a male fan from the field level stands during Washington’s game against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. His fellow patrons were chanting “Get him out!” as he did a goofy dance to it in the aisle.
The fan was arrested for simple assault, according to documents obtained by TMZ. Police said the whole thing was sparked because the fan refused to leave after being told he was in a section he was not ticketed for.
He then proceed to yell and point at a male usher while appearing to record everything thing with his cell phone. A third usher stepped in and attempted, mostly successfully, to push the fan up the steps with his arms and chest as fans booed the troublemaker. About halfway up, the fan even stopped to mockingly blow a kiss at another fan who approached to yell at him along the side of the aisle.
Things got ugly from there.
