Wrestler Bret “The Hitman” Hart was tackled by a spectator Saturday while he was giving a speech during the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony at Barclays Centre in Brooklyn.
The person – wearing fake dreadlocks and a Rastafarian hat – ran toward the ring from the crowd. The attacker was promptly subdued by several people, including other wrestlers, who came to Hart’s defence. Hart, 61, is OK.
“I couldn’t believe that the security had missed him in the first place and the next thing you know there was Shane McMahon and Travis Brown on top of him the crowd was going crazy booing,” spectator Alan Fisher said.
