OAKLAND — During the A’s 8-5 win over the Giants on Monday, a security guard at the Oakland Coliseum got into an altercation with a female fan. Several accounts by fellow spectators in that section claim that the security guard attacked the fan without reason and later returned to the section and flipped off the crowd after being booed. Other security guards in the area were described as allegedly being aggressive toward fans as well.
