A game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs was paused in the bottom of the seventh inning on Wednesday night as a fan appeared to have fallen onto the field.
The game took place at PNC Park. The fan was spotted on the warning track in right field. The game was stopped as stadium personnel came over to attend to the person.
A graphic video posted to social media showed the fan tumble over the railing and drop about 20 feet to the ground. The TV broadcast showed Pirates star Andrew McCutchen standing on second base with his hand over his head and in shock.
Players took a knee as a medical cart came out for the fan who was on his back. The game was delayed for about 10 minutes before play resumed.
The condition of the person was not immediately known.
