Shocked onlookers posted footage of the tackle online: ‘Everyone was cheering when one of the wrestlers punched him’
NEW YORK — Wrestler Bret “The Hitman” Hart was tackled by a spectator Saturday while he was giving a speech during the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Aside from McMahon and former UFC fighter Brown, other wrestlers who physically got involved with the attacker included Curtis Axel, Heath Slater, Davey Boy Smith Jr. and — most memorably — RAW Tag Team Champion Dash Wilder. New York City Police arrested 26-year-old Zachary Madsen, of Lincoln, Nebraska. He faces assault and criminal trespass charges. An email to the district attorney seeking someone who could comment on Madsen’s behalf wasn’t immediately answered.
