A National Lacrosse League player snapped on some hecklers following a game over the weekend — attacking the fans with his fist before swinging his stick at them … and the wild incident was all captured on video.
The scene unfolded at the end of the Halifax Thunderbirds’ loss to the Colorado Mammoth in Denver.

In footage shot by a spectator in the stands … you can see as Halifax’s players were walking toward their locker room, several fans seemed to throw insults their way. Most of the players walked by without incident … but Tyson Bell for some reason decided to turn things physical.
Bell could be seen in the video punching one of the guys — 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 it was aware of the incident — and has launched a probe into the matter.
“The league will provide an update after it has completed its investigation,” the NLL said.
