At Wednesday night’s game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, a fan was captured on video appearing to attempt to jump from the upper-level seating. 

According to The New York Post, the fan was in the 200s section of the stadium with one leg dangling over the ribbon board. After hanging on the edge of the upper deck for a few seconds, other fans intervened and tackled him to the ground.

After stopping the man from falling or jumping, video shows fans struggling against him as he threw punches and resisted their help. The video does not show whether ballpark security got involved in the situation.

The Cardinals have not publicly commented on the incident, and the man has not yet been identified by security or major news outlets.
