Streaker at Lions-Alouettes game obtains legal counsel after on-field hit

The streaker who ran onto the field during last week's game between the BC Lions and Montreal Alouettes is seeking legal counsel after being hit by Lions defensive back Marcell Young.

A short statement from the Preszler Law Firm confirms they've been hired to represent the unnamed man.

"We have been retained as legal counsel for the young man involved in the on-field incident at the BC Lions game on June 16, 2018. Our client suffered serious injuries, including a mild traumatic brain injury, as a result of being violently struck by BC Lions player Marcell Young. Our client has been released from the hospital and is now recovering at home. His future prognosis remains unclear. Contrary to some news reports, our client was never arrested or taken to jail, but was released from the stadium shortly after the incident before being taken to the hospital by his family. Our client and his family ask for privacy at this time. Any requests for information can be directed to the Preszler Law Firm," the statement reads, via Newswire.

After being hit, the man was eventually escorted off the field by security and removed from BC Place. He was not charged, but did receive a $115 ticket for trespassing, according to Global's Jon Azpiri.

No legal action has been taken at this time. Here is Young's hit on the streaker.
