Blackhawks On-Ice-Skid Spills Over To Mascot
CHICAGO (AP) — The Blackhawks fall to the Jets, but the real action seems to have have taken place off the ice.
The Chicago Blackhawks' 4-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets was just the beginning of their mascot's woes.
Chicago police say they were called to a disturbance Friday at United Center. A fan had attacked mascot Tommy Hawk.
But a video of the fracas posted on social media shows the festooned bird picking up and body-slamming the patron and throwing a few punches with the man on the ground.
A Blackhawks spokesman says team officials are gathering facts and would not comment further.
Authorities described the alleged attacker as a white male. He is 18 to 20 years old, 5-foot-5 and about 160 pounds.
No arrests had been made as of Saturday night.
