Steelers’ DK Metcalf throws punch at Lions fan in front row during altercation | NFL

Wide receiver DK Metcalf appeared to throw a punch at a fan during the NFL clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions.

The incident occurred in the second quarter of Sunday’s game at Ford Field in Detroit, when Metcalf went into the stands to interact with the fan.

Television footage showed Metcalf apparently grabbing the fan’s blue wig before punching him in the face.

The fan, who was leaning over a railing during the discussion between the two men, didn’t seem too perturbed after the incident and raised his arms in celebration.

“[Metcalf] came because the fan in the stands was holding a ‘For Pittsburgh’ jersey,” CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson said during the network’s coverage.

“He came and the fan said something to him, obviously.

“Metcalf didn’t like what he said and you saw the punch there. No Steelers came up to him and mentioned anything.”

The 28-year-old was allowed to remain in the match because officials did not see the altercation.

But the Steelers must now wait to see if Metcalf will be disciplined before next week’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
