These adults took over the field and began assaulting each other on 6/15 during a youth baseball game. We're looking for any info, in particular to ID the man in the white shirt/teal shorts. Several people have already been cited in this fight and injuries were reported. pic.twitter.com/ieenhwCrbU

Four people were cited for disorderly conduct and fighting in public, according to Eric Ruble and Shaul Turner of FOX 31 Denver. Police said the man seen wearing the white shirt and teal shorts in the video sucker-punched another man and could face assault charges.
"I think the saddest part in all of this is we're talking about a seven-year-old baseball game," police spokesperson John Romero said. "I think it's the parents who have to grow up."
