After being up 3-1 in the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors suffered the biggest collapse in NBA history against the Cleveland Cavaliers. After Game 7, in which the Warriors lost on their home floor, there was a terrifying scene at the Oracle Arena.
A Warriors fan had fallen over the railing over the upper deck and he was sent to the hospital in critical condition from the fall. The good news is that 21-year-old Salvatore Bimbo is back in stable condition and he should be able to cheer on his Warriors for many years to come, thanks in part to the great work of the medical personnel and EMT’s that assisted him instantaneously.
However, Bimbo isn’t happy with the incident and is saying that a Cavaliers fan pushed him over the railing after Game 7. Speaking to KRON (Via TheComeback), Bimbo detailed the incident that led to his fall over the railing.
"“I did not jump. I was pushed by a Cavaliers fan,” 21-year old Salvatore Bimbo told KRON in an exclusive interview.“He’s insane and I hope the police find him,” Bimbo said of the Cavs fan who allegedly pushed him over the railing. An investigation is still ongoing and authorities are looking for any information that may help identify the Cavs fan in question."
Bimbo’s claims paint a more terrifying scene of what occurred after the Warriors game and fan violence is a thing that continues to be prevalent at sporting events.
While the investigation is still ongoing, it’s a reminder that these types of incidents at big venues could lead to further safety measures being implemented.
