Detroit Red Wings fans should keep their octopi at home when they head on a road trip to see their favourite team.
According to the Boston Globe, a 32-year-old fan was arrested and charged with disturbing a public assembly for allegedly tossing an octopus on the ice during the third period of Thursday’s game between the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins.
Via the Globe:
An officer on detail at TD Garden said that around 9:31 p.m. he observed the fan “walk down to the front row and throw what appeared to be an eight-legged creature” onto the ice.
The fan was wearing a Red Wings sweatshirt when he was ejected from the game and escorted out of TD Garden.
Boston ended up winning 5-2 over Detroit.
