PU attacked in local park

[umpduck11]

My father,who happens to dispatch for our County's Sherrif's
department,told me today of an incident which took place at
a local park.Coincidentally,I played ball at this park as a boy,and umpire a two parks nearby,but have never called a game at this particular park.
It seems that a fan got rather unruly towards the PU,and
was asked(or told)by the PU to regain his composure.Evidently,Mr.Fan was either unable,or unwilling to do as he was asked.Instead he decided to enter the field
of play,and charge the Umpire.
The Umpire removed his mask,and by all accounts merely held
it face-high to his oncoming attacker.Mr.Fan ran face-first
into the mask,smashing his nose,lacerating his face,and loosening a few teeth.
Paramedics arrived and took him to a hospital for treatment,while the Sherrifs Deputies took statements from
witnesses.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Mr.Fan,for violating
Alabama's spots official assault law.
Now isn't that poetic justice?
