In footage captured by a spectator at Ball Arena, Bell can be seen punching one of the fans before hitting another with his stick.
A report from the Denver Police Department, according to CBCstated that the fan hit by Bell's stick suffered a minor injury.
Bell is now scheduled to appear in court in January.
The Thunderbirds have since suspended Bell for his actions.
As for the NLL, a statement earlier this week said it had launched an investigation into the matter … and “will provide an update after the investigation is complete.”
