Man hospitalized after fight at White Sox game

A man was hospitalized after a fight June 28, 2019 during a White Sox game at Guaranteed Rate Field

A man was hospitalized after being punched in the face during a White Sox game at Guaranteed Rate Field on Friday evening.

The man, 24, got into an argument with a 29-year-old man inside the ballpark at 35th and Shields, according to Chicago police, who say it started when the younger man pushed the other from behind.

The 29-year-old turned around and hit the 24-year-old, who fell and slammed his head on the concrete ground, police said.

He was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center with a laceration on his head, and his condition was stabilized, police said.

Stadium security confronted the 29-year-old and held him until police arrived, police said. Charges were pending on Saturday.

The Sox went on to beat the Minnesota Twins 6-4.
