On Saturday a man from Maryland who jumped a fence and ran on to the field during a “test match” at Eisenhower Park for T20 Cricket World Cup in Nassau County was arrested.
Police say the suspect ran toward the players after making it on to the field. He was quickly arrested, and no one was hurt.
Preparations were underway for Monday’s first official matchup at the stadium with Sri Lanka vs. South Africa.
