Fan runs on court, gets tackled during 76ers-Wizards playoff game

A fan was apprehended by police after he ran onto the court during Game 4 of Philadelphia 76ers-Washington Wizards on Monday night. 

Near the end of the third quarter of the NBA playoff game, a man ran on the court at Capital One Arena and touched the backboard before being tackled by a security guard. The fan, who didn't make contact with any of the players, was pulled off the floor and detained by police.  Monumental Sports and Entertainment, the company that oversees the Wizards and the arena, announced the fan was apprehended by Capitol One Arena Special Police after attempting to breach the court. The fan will be banned from the arena and charges are being pursued with the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department.
