Protester runs on football field - Files Lawsuit After Receiving Beatdown

The animal-rights activist who ran onto the field with a pink smoke bomb at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Monday night during a game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers has filed a police report for assault by Rams players who tackled him to end his demonstration.

The Santa Clara Police Department told Fox News Digital that a person came in on Tuesday at 1:45 p.m. PT to file a report.

A person close to Alex Taylor, the man who was taken down by Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner and defensive end Takkarist McKinley during his demonstration, also told Fox News Digital that he is considering his options, including legal action against the players involved and the NFL.

Direct Action Everywhere took responsibility for the demonstration by Taylor and Allison Fluty, who was apprehended before running on the field.

Taylor was able to avoid Levi’s Stadium security before Wagner and McKinley stepped in and put an end to the demonstration.

After the game, Wagner said he was trying to help security to apprehend Taylor.

"That's not making a play. That's just keeping it safe. You don't know what that fan got or what they're doing. You see it all the time, and we don't know what they're carrying in their pockets. It's whatever that little smoke stuff is, but that shit could be dangerous," Wagner said on Monday via ESPN.
