“The National Lacrosse League is aware of an alleged incident between a player and a spectator following the Halifax game in Colorado on Dec. 21,” the NLL said in a Dec. 22 statement. “The league will provide an update once it completes its investigation.”

A video shared on social media appears to show Bell “attacking fans with his fist before swinging the bat at them,” per TMZ Sports.

It appears the fans were hurling insults at the athletes as they walked towards the locker room. Bell’s teammates eventually intervened and restrained him in an attempt to de-escalate the situation.
