Washington: A man was in hospital after falling some 20 feet from the stands onto the warning track in the PNC Park outfield during a Pittsburgh Pirates game on Wednesday, the Major League Baseball team said.

The Pirates did not identify the man or give details of his injuries.

Play was suspended in the bottom of the seventh inning of the game between the Pirates and the visiting Chicago Cubs after the man fell off the Clemente Wall -- named for the late Pirates legend Roberto Clemente.

Video posted on social media showed the fan sitting in the front row of an upper deck.

After he topples over the railing and onto the field, players and coaches from both teams immediately call for the game to stop.
