THIS CLOSE TO FREEDOM \u2014 This fan almost got away.<\/p>\n
When fans make their way onto the field \u2014 be it at a baseball, soccer or football game \u2014 it’s usually not long before they get tackled by security or take a tumble during their (oftentimes inebriated) dash of freedom.<\/p>\n

The fan was quickly dragged back onto the field and was placed in handcuffs.<\/p>\n
He was maybe a few seconds from freedom, and now he faces possible legal repercussions.<\/p>\n
