A National Lacrosse League player addressed some hecklers after a game over the weekend by throwing his fist at fans before swinging his stick at them… and the wild incident was caught in its entirety on video.
The scene took place at the end of the Halifax Thunderbirds' loss to the Colorado Mammoth in Denver.

In footage captured by a spectator in the stands, you can see several fans hurling insults in their direction as the Halifax players walked towards their locker room. Most players passed without incident…but Tyson Bell for some reason decided to make things physical.
In the video, Bell could be seen hitting one of the boys – and then swinging his stick at the other. The ugly altercation mercifully ended when Bell's teammates separated him from the action.
On Sunday, the NLL said in a statement that it was aware of the incident – and had launched an investigation into the matter.
“The league will provide an update after it completes its investigation,” the NLL said.
