Child tackled by security after running onto field during Buccaneers game
A little boy who ran onto the field during an NFL game on Sunday was grabbed by a security guard and thrown onto the turf...all while Tom Brady looked on a few feet away .
The incident occurred early in the Buccaneers' game against the Falcons in Tampa Bay...when a 10-year-old jumped the stadium railing and sprinted onto the playing surface.
>The kid - wearing a Brady jersey - stepped several yards down the touchline...laughing at stadium workers who were trying to stop him.
Eventually, however, a staff member grabbed him and tackled him to the ground. Video shot by a fan in the stands shows the child being forcefully shot.
Authorities then handcuffed the child, before dragging him to a waiting area inside the stadium.
A spokesperson for the Tampa Police Department told TMZ Sports that the boy was issued a civil citation, told to appear in court...and then released.

This is the second time in less than a week that a pitch invader has caused a scene at an NFL game... Last Monday, a smoke protester was slammed by Rams star Bobby Wagner in the middle of "Monday Night Football" against the 49ers. He filed a police report on the incident. The case is ongoing.
