Tershawn Wharton: Kansas City Chiefs DT catches child who fell headfirst from stands, invites him to next game
CNNCNN — After quite possibly saving a child’s life on Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton has invited the young fan to a game. Wharton caught the child after he fell headfirst from the Bank of America Stadium stands following the Chiefs’ 30-27 win against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday. Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, Wharton said he had not had a chance to meet the child, but “would like to reach out to him, get him out to a game, and be able to reflect with him a little bit more, if I could.” A video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, shows the young fan leaning over the edge of the stands at Bank of America Stadium to call to the Chiefs players leaving the field following Sunday’s game. A second video, apparently taken before the fall, shows a security guard attempting to hold a child back while shouting: “You can’t lean over here!” A stadium spokesperson told CNN Sport: “We are aware of the incident that took place involving a fan following the game on Sunday.
