Former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio, who has been wrestling as Alberto El Patron since leaving the promotion, has been suspended from Tijuana, Baja California for 180 days after an incident with a fan that resulted in another fan getting injured.
During the March 14 Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide event, it was said that fans reportedly had threw coins at Patron. He then eventually jumped the guardrail and made into the crowd and tossed a chair, which resulted in another chair being thrown. It was also stated there was an elderly woman hurt during the incident and had to be taken to a local hospital to be treated.
Video footage shows El Patron walking around ringside after having heat with a fan or fans. He attempts to hop the guardrail. After he makes it over, he then tosses a chair at the fan. It was at that point security stepped in.

“Alberto El Patrón (also known as Alberto del Río in WWE) has been suspended by the Tijuana Commission for six months due to what happened at a AAA event this past Friday.
During his main event match against Dr. Wagner Jr., Alberto confronted a fan who threw several coins at him, which angered him and prompted him to go look for him in the audience.
This got to the point where El Patrón threw a chair at the fan, only to be hit with another chair himself, starting a fight in which an elderly woman was injured and had to be taken to the hospital.
He will not be able to fight in Tijuana for the next 180 days.”
