The National Lacrosse League player who was seen on video attacking a pair of fans following a game last weekend has been issued a citation over his role in the altercation.
The incident went down on Dec. 21 after the Halifax Thunderbirds’ loss to the Colorado Mammoth in Denver … when Tyson Bell went after two people who appeared to be heckling him and his team.

In footage captured by a spectator inside of Ball Arena, you can see Bell punched one of the fans, before he hit another with his stick.
A Denver Police Department report, according to CBC, stated the fan who was struck by Bell’s stick sustained a minor injury.
Bell is now scheduled to appear in court in January.
The Thunderbirds, meanwhile, have suspended Bell over his actions.
As for the NLL, it said in a statement earlier this week it’s launched a probe into the matter … and “will provide an update after it has completed its investigation.”
