A bunch of lacrosse followers gathered outdoors of the walkway from the field to the locker room after the sport. One of many followers appeared to flip Bell the hen. Two of them chirped in his route. Though it’s unclear as to what they may’ve stated, their heckling didn’t go over nicely.

Bell instantly turned again towards the opposing followers with anger in his eyes. He charged of their route and threw a proper hook to the top. Because the followers retreated, the 30-year-old pushed apart the (not-so) protecting barrier and saved on the assault.
Fortuitously, a close-by staffer and a few of Bell’s Thunderbirds teammates have been capable of pull him off earlier than issues acquired much more out of hand. Nonetheless, the followers didn’t again far sufficient away so Bell caught considered one of them with a vicious stick test.
