The fight between fans that went viral at the Steelers-Lions preseason game Saturday was investigated and the person who started it is slowly finding out their punishment.
The fan brawl broke out in the yellow seats at Heinz Field and was captured on video by a nearby fan during Pittsburgh’s 26-20 preseason win. The video shows an unidentified woman and man arguing before she slaps him in the face.
A man next to her, presumably her husband, ended up getting knocked out when he tried to help.
According to TMZ, that woman above has now been cited.
“The woman who appeared to start the violent altercation at the Steelers vs. Lions preseason game in August has been hit with a criminal citation, TMZ Sports has learned.
