The incident occurred at the Asia-Pacific International Baseball Stadium in Tainan on March 29 at about 7pm, when Chiang slapped a part-time CPBL staff member on the left cheek after a dispute, prosecutors said.
The CPBL said the worker, surnamed Tsai (蔡), was advising Chiang to return to his seat to keep the stadium's aisle clear, but Chiang would not listen and hit Tsai in response.
Tsai sustained a bruise on the left side of his face and experienced from dizziness and abrasions to the oral mucosa after the assault, which was witnessed by multiple people at the scene, prosecutors said.
Chiang admitted to the assault during police questioning and an investigation by prosecutors.
The act was also captured on surveillance footage and recorded by witnesses, with the evidence clearly identifying him as the suspect, prosecutors said.
