(The Hill) – A piece of concrete reportedly fell from Dodger Stadium and hit a spectator over the weekend, prompting the installation of protective netting.

As reported by The Athletic, a chunk of concrete roughly the size of a softball fell onto a Yankees fan named Ricardo Aquino Friday night.

Aquino, a Mexico City resident, said he was struck in the back during the third inning of the Dodgers’ 8-5 win over the Bronx Bombers.

Through a translator, Aquino told The Athletic that “he was in some pain, but that the concrete hadn’t caused bleeding.”

After the incident, the Dodgers installed a small section of protective netting under the top deck of the stadium in Section 10 reserve, which is located between home plate and first base.

The team told The Athletic in a statement on Saturday that they “have had professionals and experts at Dodger Stadium this morning to examine the facility and ensure its safety.”

“We will also be undertaking a longer-term review,” the statement said.
