A stadium employee at GEHA Field took one for the home team while trying to break up a fight at Arrowhead Stadium during the Chiefs’ win over the Broncos on Sunday.
In a fan-captured video from the upper bowl, a male Broncos fan landed two punches in the face of a male employee, who wore a yellow shirt.
At the time, the stadium worker was trying to break up a fight between another Broncos fan, who was wearing a Patrick Surtain II jersey, and a Chiefs fan when their fight spilled into multiple rows.
