KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Grandview man was arrested on Sunday for running on to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium during the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills.

The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department identified him as a 20-year-old Grandview man.

Video captured the man apparently running on the field during the second half of the game.

It appears as if the man was running toward a football that was on the field near the 20-yard line before Bills' wide receiver Stefon Diggs laid him out.

An Arrowhead security guard then wrestled and restrained the man.

The man is facing a municipal charge. He's set to appear in court on Feb. 24.
