That’s according to TMZ, who confirmed with Santa Clara police that the report was filed.
Alex Taylor is an activist on behalf of the organization Direct Action Everywhere. A fellow member of the organization, Allison Fluty, tried to run onto the gridiron as well, but was tackled by security before reaching the playing field.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Wagner has not been charged with a crime in the incident.
Reporters from the sports business outlet Sportico discussed whether athletes who take out fans who run onto the field could eventually face civil liability from the incidents.
“I contend one day a jock is going to seriously hurt one of these knuckleheads and find him or herself facing a civil suit. Am I nuts?” Sportico’s editor-in-chief Scott Soshnick asked the outlet’s legal analyst, Michael McCann.
