Manly Sea Eagles was left injured after a violent altercation at a NRL event held at the Las Vegas Stadium.
One unfortunate Manly Sea Eagles fan found themselves in a troublesome situation after the team’s victory over South Sydney in the NRL’s Las Vegas event. Despite the Sea Eagles’ impressive on-field performance, scoring six tries to the Rabbitohs’ five in a 36-24 triumph at Allegiant Stadium, the fan’s experience was marred by a violent altercation.
Details are somewhat unclear, but several short videos circulating on social media depict a fight breaking out in the stands. The videos show a man in a Sea Eagles jersey appearing intoxicated, being held by another man who seems to be trying to protect him, while a third individual in a light grey shirt attempts to strike him. The situation escalates, with the man in the grey shirt landing a hard blow that causes the Manly fan to stagger. A woman intervenes to restrain the aggressor, who continues to yell at the Manly supporter.
In subsequent footage, the Manly fan is seen being escorted away with blood on his face and hand. Another clip shows him in a wheelchair, still holding his Manly hat and scarf, being attended to by medical personnel as someone shouts encouragement.
The incident sparked various reactions on social media, with some criticizing the individual throwing punches and questioning the behavior displayed. Despite the unsavory incident, the NRL’s Las Vegas experiment drew a crowd of 40,746, with the Roosters defeating the Broncos 20-10 in the second match of the event.
