A young kid at a San Diego Padres game found out the hard way that security makes no exceptions when it comes to fans running onto the field.

At one point in the game between the Padres and San Francisco Giants at Petco Park Tuesday night, a child jumped onto the field and began running in the outfield.

In a video posted online, the kid was already on the field trying to evade security.

Unfortunately for the young fan, he was quickly surrounded by stadium security.

Despite his apparent young age, one of the guards aggressively tackled him from behind to bring him down. Once he was apprehended, he was escorted out by an entourage of guards.

Fans were not pleased by the hit on the kid and a chorus of boos rang out across the ballpark.

Players also took exception to the hit. As it happened, pitcher Jason Adam and first baseman Luis Arraez appeared to respond with visible disgust when the kid was taken down.

That sentiment was shared by social media users. While many agreed that the fan should be punished for the act, they also felt that the tackle on someone so young was excessive.
