Mets, Yankees fans throw punches in wild, chaotic Subway Series brawl
A video of an apparent brawl between baseball fans at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night circulated widely on social media on Wednesday.
The footage purported to be from after the Mets’ 3-2 win on Tuesday night in The Bronx first showed what appeared to be two female fans wearing Yankees attire grappling with one another before a larger melee broke out on one of the Yankee Stadium concourses.
The situation escalated when a male fan wearing a pinstriped Yankees jersey attempted to push one of the female combatants, which prompted a fan in a Mets jersey to try and push him back.
The opposing fans then engaged in pushing and shoving, with the Yankees fan removing his jersey before the bare-chested Bombers supporter seemed to connect a right hook to the Mets fan’s face, sending sent him to the ground briefly.
Another Yankees fan — wearing a gray Aaron Judge jersey — then came up and pushed the Mets fan once more while the camera panned back over to the two women grappling on the ground.
The shirtless then appeared to celebrate by high-fiving nearby fans and flexing in front of the camera.
Just as the situation seemed to calm down, the Mets fan wearing a blue Pete Alonso jersey — and the other Yankee fan in a gray jersey began sparring again when security and fans finally broke the two up.
The Yankees did not immediately respond when asked to comment on the incident.
Another angle of the fight showed the two female fans being separated, but not before one violently shoved the other one away.
Two stadium staffers showed up at the end of the second video, and the Mets fan in the blue jersey could be seen trying to talk to a worker with the word “SUPERVISOR” on his shirt, but he appeared to be trying to usher everyone away.
The Mets completed the season sweep of the Yankees on Wednesday night when they closed out the two-game set in the Bronx with a dominating 12-3 win over the Bronx Bombers.
The situation for the Yankees has continued to be frustrating for its fanbase, who have watched the team come out of the All-Star break dropping four of six games.
