Matthew Clemmens, 21, of Cherry Hill, N.J., was arraigned early Friday morning on charges stemming from the incident during Wednesday night's Phillies-Nationals game.
If true, the incident would be another huge black eye for a city still blamed for booing Santa Claus, stealing the head of the Phillies' own mascot, throwing batteries at opposing players, and cheering when Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin injured his neck.
Police say Clemmens made himself vomit on an off-duty police captain and his family after a friend was ejected from the park for unruly behavior.
Easton police Capt. Michael Vangelo says he saw Clemmens put his fingers down his throat and throw up, hitting Vangelo and his 11-year-old daughter. Philadelphia police say Clemmens punched Vangelo and vomited on an arresting Philadelphia officer.
Clemmens faces charges including aggravated assault, resisting arrest and harassment.
Fox 29 spoke to Michael Vangelo who stated, "... disgusting. I cannot describe to you how offended and disgusted I was. My reaction was to shove him away from me."
Our station also spoke to Clemmen's uncle, Mike Clemmens who defended his nephew, "He might have had a few beers, and got sick and basically he put his hand over his mouth and accidentally puked on the wrong individual."
A phone number for Clemmens was disconnected Friday morning.
