Fan hurt falling from bleachers at Cubs game

CHICAGO -- A man was carted off Wrigley Field after he apparently fell from the bleachers onto the warning track during a rain delay before a game between the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves on Thursday night.

The man, dressed in shorts and sneakers, was face down just in front of the ivy in right-center field when officials started running from the dugouts to assist him. They immediately checked his pulse while a medic ran in from right field.

It took three people to turn the man over onto his back. They then pulled up his shirt and put on a brace to stabilize his neck before strapping him onto a backboard and loading him into a cart.
