The photos of a fan who did a backflip and got Tased invading the Reds’ field are wild

Andy Lyons Cincinnati Cleveland Guardians Ohio the Cincinnati Reds

Here’s a good way to warn you: running on to the field as a fan may end up badly for you, legally or otherwise.

What’s the context here? A Cincinnati Reds fan ran on to the field on Tuesday during their game against the Cleveland Guardians at Great American Ballpark, and as he was chased by a security guard, he stopped, did standing backflip and kept running.

But then … the guard brought out a Taser down went the fan as he was taken away.

You can see the videos of the moment below, but the photos from Getty Images’s Andy Lyons are stunning.
