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.
