Major League Baseball is investigating an incident in which a Los Angeles Angels player directed a swipe at an Oakland Athletics fan on Thursday.

Oakland Police also reportedly are looking into the altercation.

The incident — which took place after the teams’ season opener in Oakland, California — was caught on camera.

ā€œYou called me a b****, huh?ā€ Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon said to a fan in the stands.

ā€œYeah you did. Yeah you did! Yeah, motherf***er!ā€ Rendon said before directing a weak swipe toward the fan’s face.

A closer look reveals that Rendon, 32, grabbed a piece of the fan’s clothing before the swipe. The fan dodged the swipe easily.

It’s not clear how the altercation began — or if the fan who Rendon confronted actually called him a ā€œb****.ā€

In the Video footage, which has gone Viral, the fan shook his head negatively as Rendon grabbed him. The fan appeared to be grinning.

ā€œWe are aware of the Video and we are now looking into the matter,ā€ MLB said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the Oakland Police Department said it is investigating the incident as a battery and that the fan has not contacted authorities, according to multiple outlets, including KTVU-TV.

Baseball fans criticized Rendon for behaving like a fan who’d partaken of too many watered-down stadium brews.

The Angels lost the Opening Day game 2-1; the team hasn’t publicly addressed Rendon’s behavior.

Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk in the loss.
