A woman has been injured after being hit by a Hulk Hogan Real American Beer can at a promotional event in Ohio.
The professional wrestling star was in Medina Township, about 20 miles northwest of Akron, to promote the brand, which launched in early June, USA TODAY reported. Medina Township was one of multiple stops along a 17-state tour to distribute the "easy-drinking light lager."
The 50-year-old was hit and knocked to the ground by an airborne "Real American Beer" can while Hogan was on stage around 5:30 p.m. Monday at Thirsty Cowboy, a local music venue, according to reporting by the Akron Becon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network.
According to a Medina Township police report, some witnesses told responding officers Hogan threw the beer, but other witnesses said it was a crew member who "was throwing beers from the stage like a 'baseball pitch,'" according to reporting by News 5, a Beacon Journal news partner.
No arrests were made due to "conflicting" accounts received by responding Media Township police officers, the outlet reported. The woman got treatment for the injury, receiving nine stitches, according to the outlet.
USA TODAY has reached out to the Media Township Police Department and Real American Beer for comment.

Real American Beer is a "meticulously" brewed malt made with 100% North American ingredients that contains a 4.2% alcohol by volume. The beer is colored with a rich golden hue by the malt, ensuring a "well-balanced taste," according to USA TODAY.
"We’ve formed an all-star team to make it happen, and I'm excited to introduce Real American Beer to fans and beer lovers everywhere," Hogan said in a June news release.
"Supermarket chains like Albertsons, Safeway, Sam’s Club and Walmart carry Real American Beer. Total Wine & More as well as ABC Fine Wine & Spirits also sell the product.
