The fan who dumped a beer on Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill after scoring a touchdown is now being investigated by police.
With just 3:03 left in the fourth quarter, Tyreek Hill made a 75-yard touchdown, running past the end zone and into an area filled with (ill-mannered) Patriots fans. One angry fan doused a beer on him and several others appeared to flip him off.

And now the police want answers.
Foxboro police reportedly told TMZ that they’re actively investigating the matter. No name has been released, but an eagle-eyed viewer may have screen-grabbed a photo of his face from television (it’s not clear that this is him):

The Patriots also released a statement on the incident, claiming the fan is now banned from Gillette Stadium for life.
.@Patriots say the fan who threw beer onto @Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill Sunday & flipped him off is no longer welcome at Gillette Stadium.

Not a great look for Pats fans everywhere. Philly fans would never harass the opposing team like that.
