After the fan attacked, a mascot handler quickly intervened.

The fan, however, was not detained or identified right away – his face isn't seen clearly in the video – but police released a photo of the suspect on Thursday.

Police said the person in the mascot costume was injured, and the suspect is wanted for simple assault.

Dinger has been the team's mascot since 1994, one year after the franchise began to play.

The mascot was involved in a controversy in 2021 when a fan was shouting his name, but people thought the fan was shouting the n-word instead.

The Rockies won the game on Monday, 7-4.
