Dare Leads To Arrest After Fan Walks Onto The Field At PNC Park
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A dare led to the arrest of a 24-year-old man who walked onto the field during a Pirates game.
In the top of the sixth inning during Sunday's Pirates game against the Phillies at PNC Park, a fan jumped onto the field and attempted to shake Phillies infielder Brad Miller's hand.
The man came from the third-base side and walked toward Miller, who was at the plate at the time.

Police have only identified the man as a 24-year-old from Central Pennsylvania.
In the police report, the man told police he did it because a friend "dared him to."
"The person entered the field of play and was placed under arrest," the Pirates said in a statement. "It is a police matter."
The Pirates declined to be interviewed for this story.
Per policy, the incident was not shown on the AT&T SportsNet broadcast.
