Colorado Rockies Fans Charge at Atlanta Braves Star Ronald Acuna Jr.

Before the bottom of the seventh inning on Monday night, Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. was charged and taken to the ground by Colorado Rockies fans at Coors Field.

A scary scene unfolded on Monday night in Colorado as Rockies fans charged at Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. 

Before the bottom of the seventh inning at Coors Field, fans came out and approached Acuna, with one going to the ground with Acuna before security escorted the fans out. 

It appeared as if a first fan came out and wanted to take a selfie with Acuna and wrapped him in a bear hug. Acuna then went to the ground with the fan.

After the game, Braves star Austin Riley told Bally Sports Braves that he was happy nothing more serious happened.
