In footage captured by a spectator inside of Ball Arena, you can see Bell punched one of the fans, before he hit another with his stick.
A Denver Police Department report, according to CBC, stated the fan who was struck by Bell's stick sustained a minor injury.
Bell is now scheduled to appear in court in January.
The Thunderbirds, meanwhile, have suspended Bell over his actions.
As for the NLL, it said in a statement earlier this week it's launched a probe into the matter ... and "will provide an update after it has completed its investigation."
