A fan apparently fell out of the right-center field bleachers onto the warning track before the Cubs-Braves game on Thursday night at Wrigley Field.

Other fans and journalists at the park tweeted that the fan looked like he was “not moving” and “out cold”:

Brett Lyons, a producer at CSN Chicago and 670 The Score, tweeted that the fan appeared to be slightly moving after a few minutes:

The fan was put onto a stretcher and carted off:

There is a basket that goes across the top of the outfield wall at Wrigley Field, and it’s hard to understand how someone would fall from the bleachers over this: wrigley field basket

The incident happened when the Cubs and Braves were supposed to be playing. The game is in a rain delay, and is a makeup game for a game that was rained out earlier in the season.

We’ll let you more about the fan if more information becomes available.

UPDATE: The fan was “severely injured”, and the Cubs say the fan “attempted to jump”, rarely than simply falling.
