<p>The Bronx Bombers fan who sprinted onto the field at Yankee Stadium <strong>only to get absolutely demolished</strong> by security has been criminally charged for the stunt, authorities said Wednesday.</p>



<p>Leonardo Lertora-Leiva, 25, was hit with a desk-appearance ticket for criminal trespass and a violation of local law, according to the NYPD.</p>



<p>The Cos Cob, Conn. man dashed onto the field during the sixth inning of the Yankees&#8217; Tuesday night tilt against the Philadelphia Phillies — but was quickly taken down by a stadium security worker with an NFL-worthy tackle.</p>



<p>Lertora-Leiva made light of his escapades in a <strong>post to his Instagram Story</strong> early Wednesday.</p>



<p>He posted a screenshot of The Post&#8217;s coverage of the stunt, centered on a photo of the security guard chasing him and captioned with the word &#8220;F&#8211;K&#8221; in all-caps.</p>



<p>&#8220;Off with the bag,&#8221; the shot was further captioned, along with two laughing emojis.</p>

<p>Earlier in his Story, Lertora-Leiva posted a photo of the field shot from the left-center field stands.</p>



<p>Lertora-Leiva could not immediately be reached for comment.</p>


<p>The Yankees didn&#8217;t immediately respond to an inquiry about what punishment, if any, he faces.</p>



<p>The incident was just the latest in and around Yankee Stadium in recent days.</p>



<p>During Saturday night&#8217;s game against the Boston Red Sox, a fan threw a ball from the stands that <strong>struck Red Sox left fielder</strong> Alex Verdugo in the back, earning a lifetime ban from all MLB stadiums.</p>



<p>That same night, Catherine Varitek, the wife of former longtime Red Sox catcher and current assistant coach Jason Varitek,&nbsp;said a Yankees fan <strong>spat on her 9-year-daughter</strong>&nbsp;as they walked to their car outside the ballpark.</p>



<p>The just-concluded NBA playoffs also saw multiple instances of badly behaved fans, as people flocked back to sporting events en masse following more than a year of being largely cooped-up amid the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>

<p>During the Knicks series against the Atlanta Hawks, a fan was indefinitely banned from Madison Square Garden after <strong>spitting on Hawks point guard</strong> Trae Young.</p>



<p>A Boston Celtics fan caught on video <strong>hurling a water bottle</strong> at Nets star Kyrie Irving after a game in Beantown, grazing the point guard&#8217;s head, was hit with criminal charges.</p>



<p>And a Philadelphia 76ers fan had his season tickets revoked after <strong>dumping a bucket of popcorn</strong> on the head of Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook during the series between those teams.</p>
