Philadelphia has always been known for having tough crowds, but bad fan behavior there may have hit a new low at a Phillies game this week. There, a 21-year-old fan allegedly vomited intentionally on the 11-year-old daughter of an off-duty cop.
Police have charged Matthew Clemmens of Cherry Hill, N.J., with aggravated assault and other counts in the Wednesday incident at Citizens Bank Park.
"It was the most vile, disgusting thing I've ever seen, and I've been a cop for 20 years," Easton Police Capt. Michael Vangelo told the Philadelphia Daily News.
Vangelo said Clemmens also struck him in the head several times. Vangelo said he complained to security about cursing and spitting by Clemmens and a friend. When the friend was escorted out of the park, Vangelo said, Clemmens
"leaned over and put two fingers down his throat" and then "started vomiting on us."
Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore said Clemmens fought with police and "threw up on one officer" before being removed.
"I was just a dad with my kids enjoying a game," Vangelo said. "I never experienced anything like that before."
