A Chicago Cubs security guard has been hospitalised after opening a suspicious package at the team’s offices.
The incident unfolded after the man came into contact with a “foreign substance” when opening a package at the baseball team’s offices next to Wrigley Field at around 2.45pm on Tuesday afternoon.
It’s believed the security guard encountered an “unknown skin irritant,” according to authorities.
A Level 1 Hazmat call was triggered, and a bomb unit was called to the scene.
