Video: Astros fan runs on field, escapes cops...temporarily

Man later arrested after scaling several walls to elude security

By Police1 Staff

HOUSTON, Texas - A fan sprinted onto the field at a Houston Astros game, leading police on one of the more bizarre ballpark chases ever caught on tape.

The unique characteristics of Minute Maid Park played a role in the escape, as the man first sprinted up the hill in center field, then climbed up a wall into a grassy hill area, and then clambered over train tracks to exit the field.

Fortunately, according to ESPN’s Adam Rubin, the man was arrested outside the stadium.
