Young kid tackled by Padres security after invading field — and fans were not happy

Padres security didn’t treat this youngster like a minor.

A San Diego enthusiast received a harsh lesson on Tuesday night at Petco Park. Security took him down after he dashed onto the field during the eighth inning of the Padres’ 5-1 victory over the Giants, eliciting boos from the audience.

The young fan darted across the right field area near Fernando Tatis Jr. A security guard caught hold of him, but another swiftly tackled him from behind just as a third guard arrived.

The three officers, clad in red shirts, then fell to the ground with the youngster while the fans booed.

One on-site video showed another patron actually giving a thumbs down right after the tackle.

The television broadcast captured Padres reliever Jason Adam, holding a four-run lead in the eighth, pulling an “ouch” expression as he seemingly watched the fan being tackled.

A pair of security officers eventually helped the fan — wearing a short-sleeved Padres shirt and jean shorts — off the field while holding a hat.

Another fan made their way onto the field in the ninth inning, again running through the outfield before being taken down by a leaping security officer.

The fans did not voice their displeasure for this tackle like they did the other, although the video posted to Reddit featured a fan saying: “(Looks) like another kid.”

The MLB.com boxscore indicated this storming of the field happened with two outs in the ninth.

While the fans may have disapproved of how security handled the first fan, former MLB All-Star Adam Jones condemned the fan’s actions.

“Anyone who runs on the field should be fined 10k or harsher. No space for it in baseball,” Jones posted to X early Wednesday morning.

“This looks like a kid who shook the hell outta the security. But I’d be fining his parents. Unacceptable and a danger. Yall can say what you want but players don’t know what a fan has

Amid the fan drama, the Padres’ win Tuesday snapped a four-game losing streak that saw them go from from one game up on the Dodgers in the NL West to two games back entering Wednesday.

San Diego hosts the Giants for two more games before welcoming Los Angeles for another critical three-game set Friday through Sunday.

The Padres own the second wild card spot, two games behind the fourth-seeded Cubs and 2 1/2 games ahead of the sixth-seeded Mets.
