A fan jumped the barrier and tackled Bret Hart in the ring during the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony tonight at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Hart, who was accepting induction for the second time — as one-half of The Hart Foundation with the late Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart — was speaking inside the ring alongside Natalya when a fan tackled him from behind.
The WWE Network feed of the ceremony went to black for a few moments while the fan was subdued by a large group of security, staff and wrestlers and removed from the ring.
Here is video of what aired on the WWE Network.
