Video of the episode posted by Oklahoma City TV station KOKH showed a fracas breaking out at that point, attracting the attention of stadium event staff and security personnel. “The OU Athletics Department is aware of the interaction during Saturday night’s game between some fans and an Oklahoma State team staff member,” Oklahoma said in a statement provided to The Washington Post. “The matter was immediately turned over to the OU Police Department and is under investigation with the athletics department’s full cooperation. No matter the outcome of the investigation, physical contact by any fan with an employee of any team is unacceptable. “They were really beating this kid down.”The man said he saw three or four OU fans “just swinging on” the equipment manager in the bleachers.
