During this evening’s WWE Hall of Fame ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, there was a scary moment when a fan interrupted the Hart Foundation’ induction and attempted to tackle 61-year-old Bret Hart while he was delivering his speech.

Security were on hand quickly in the ring and neutralized the culprit as the WWE Network quickly faded to black. When the broadcast resumed, numerous WWE superstars and employees had surrounded Bret and Natalya in the ring.

The Hitman, seemingly unfazed, continued his speech when the broadcast returned.
We will have more on this story as we get it but we are happy that Bret Hart is safe and well following this and huge props the way he continued like a true Champion following the incident.
Update:
Here is a video of what looks like Dash Wilder leaving his mark on the attacker as he is escorted away from the ring/stage:
