A boy was tackled by security after running onto the field during the Buccaneers’ 21-15 home win against Atlanta.

The incident occurred during the second quarter while Tampa Bay was lining up for an extra point after a Leonard Fournette touchdown.

Video of the incident shows the boy trying to juke out security guards before being brought down near the sideline at Raymond James Stadium.

ESPN’s Jenna Laine reported that the child was held down for several seconds before being escorted off the field.

A woman who identified herself as the child’s mother told The Associated Press the boy is 10 years old but a police officer later refuted this, claiming the boy is older but could not release his information because he is a juvenile.

A police officer told the Associated Press the boy’s mother has multiple children and was confused about which one ran onto the field.

Tampa Police Department spokesperson Abe Carmack reported no charges will be filed and no arrests were made.

This isn’t the first time a crazed fan has run rampant on the field this past week. Last Monday during the San Francisco 49ers’ and Los Angeles Rams game, a protester was decked by linebacker Bobby Wagner.
