Fan breaks arm falling from Party City Deck at Citi Field: Report

A fan broke his arm when he fell over a railing above an outfield wall before the Mets-Giants game at Citi Field Saturday.

The fan, identified as Nick Gambacorta, was standing in the area called the Party City Deck over an 8-foot wall when he leaned over the railing and fell. Gambacorta was reportedly trying to get the attention of a Giants player who had just caught a flyball.

“It just looked like he was reaching for something and then just fell over,” Giants pitcher Matt Cain said. “I don’t know if it was for a foul ball or what.”

Gambacorta’s arm was “terribly” bloody, said Cain, and he saw bone protruding through skin.

A witness said Gambacorta — who was on outing with local bus operators, supervisors and their families — tried stopping his fall by grabbing the railing with his right hand as he went over the waist-high railing. The twisting motion seemed to break his arm.

Security and medical staff attended to the injured man on the warning track in left field. They placed him on a backboard then put him on a stretcher before wheeling him though a gate in the left-field wall.

The Mets released a statement saying a fan fell from the stands and was taken to a hospital. The team didn't provide additional details.

Buffalo Bills fan who fell over railing guilty of assault: Report (VIDEO)

A Buffalo Bills fan who fell from the upper deck of Ralph Wilson Stadium and injured another spectator last year was found guilty of assault and reckless endangerment Tuesday after a six-member jury deliberated for about 20 minutes.

The Orchard Park Town Court jury found Robert Hopkins of Buffalo guilty of both counts against him — third-degree assault and second-degree reckless endangerment — following a three-day trial. 

Stadium video surveillance showed Hopkins repeatedly sliding down the rail during the Nov.17 Bills-Jets game before falling over the side and onto Mark Bratcher who was 20-25 feet below in his seat. Bratcher suffered head, neck and back injuries. 

Hopkins was not seriously hurt after his fall, but lost his job in public relations and has been banned from the stadium.

He could face up to a year in jail when he's sentenced on Sept. 11.

Bratcher has since seen neurosurgeon Dr. Loubert Steven Suddaby who claims that Bratcher had bulging discs in two places in his cervical spine and a herniated disc in his middle spine.

Suddaby also stated that his patient could have been killed or left a quadriplegic if the fall had hit him just two inches forward. 

Brewers pitcher warmed up next to injured fan who fell into bullpen (VIDEO)

While paramedics treated an injured fan who plummeted 15-feet into the bullpen, a Milwaukee Brewers pitcher grabbed a baseball and began warming up just feet from the guy. 

The unidentified man, who fell into the Brewers bullpen during a game against the Twins at Miller Park Tuesday night, was conscious and alert when he was transported to a hospital on a stretcher, but not before some players didn't let the strewn body get in their way.

As the guy lay on the ground, Brewers reliever Brandon Kintzler was told to begin warming up to pitch.

The game was delayed before the start of the eighth while stadium security and emergency medical officials rushed to the bullpen during the seventh inning to tend to the fan who fell from a a restaurant railing. 

He was transported to Froedtert Hospital. The Brewers said privacy laws would preclude them from providing further information about the man's condition.

"We were sitting there and Marcus [Hanel, bullpen catcher] yelled, 'Oh, my gosh!' and you heard the net come flying down, said Kintzler.  "I think the net caught him, and then he just face-planted. He didn't move for a few minutes."

Security was on the scene immediately and called for medical help. While EMTs tended to the man, Kintzler and other Brewers pitchers saw the man's fingers move for the first time.

"I'm sure it was tough for Kintzler to get ready to come into the game, obviously, when something happens like that," fellow Brewers reliever Rob Wooten said. "You just hope the guy's OK. It's hard to get back to focusing on the game when a guy could be or is seriously injured. It's hard to keep your mind focused on the game."
