Halifax Lacrosse Player Suspended After Assaulting Fans in Colorado

Tyson Bell faces an assault citation and court appearance following a violent altercation with fans after a National Lacrosse League game.

Tyson Bell of the Halifax Thunderbirds is accused of assaulting fans after a Dec. 21 game in Denver against the Colorado Mammoth.
Video footage shows Bell punching one fan and striking another with his lacrosse stick as he exited the arena following the team's loss.
The Denver Police Department cited Bell for assault, alleging minor injuries to one victim, and he is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 22.
The Halifax Thunderbirds suspended Bell but have not provided further details, while the National Lacrosse League has launched its own investigation.
Observers have raised questions about the team's culture, referencing a similar incident involving another player last year.
