Fan levelled by BC Lions player hires law firm
VANCOUVER — A partially clothed fan who was hit by a B.C. Lions player has retained the services of a law firm.
In a statement released Wednesday, Preszler Law Firm said the fan “suffered serious injuries, including a mild traumatic brain injury, as a result of being violently struck by BC Lions player Marcell Young.”
The fan was knocked down by Young, a Lions defensive back, when the man ran onto the BC Place field during a CFL game between the Lions and Montreal Alouettes on Saturday.
Police have said the man is in his 20s and from Surrey, B.C., but his identity has not been released.
