Ioannou noted other members of the security team were forced to restrain the guard.
Daniel M. Jimenez of the Mercury News provided video from the hectic aftermath:
Ethan Gaines of KNBR added "other security guards in the area were described as allegedly being aggressive toward fans as well."
Matt Keller of ABC 7 News reported Oakland police eventually arrived on scene to "clear things out and restore order."
Details about what happened leading up to the incident weren't immediately released.
