More than a DOZEN Yankees and Mets fans brawl during heated New York Subway Series matchup in the Bronx
Insults, racial slurs and punches flew during the chaos at Yankee Stadium this week, where the Bronx Bombers lost two games to the same-city Mets as fans of both teams took aim at each other.
The Yankees were defeated 15-5 on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the first loss compounded by the intense fight that has since gone viral.
The footage does not show the rival Yankees and Mets fans fighting, but it appears that two women and about a dozen men were involved in the brawl.
“F*** him up! F*** him up!” the cameraman repeated in a now-deleted clip. “Damn it! Damn it! F*** him up!”
When a shirtless, white Yankees fan took down a Mets fan with a wild right hook, the cameraman started screaming, “That’s my n*****! That’s my n*****!”

It is unclear how the fight at Yankee Stadium began. The fight lasted about a minute.
Since then, another camera angle has surfaced, showing a female fighter trying to get up after the brawl.
Meanwhile, the shirtless Yankees fan could be seen in the background reenacting his opponent’s fall to the ground.
He also posed for the cameras for another 10 to 20 seconds.
That brawl came after the Yankees lost 3-2 to the Mets on Tuesday, a much more exciting game than Wednesday’s 12-3 loss.
Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor and Tyrone Taylor homered against Gerrit Cole, with Lindor adding a three-run hit against the bullpen to win the Subway Series for the first time since 2013.
Lindor hit a two-run drive left-handed against Cole and went right-handed against Caleb Ferguson for a season-high five RBIs and his 18th multi-homer game, his third this year. Lindor has 21 homers and 60 RBIs.
Mark Vientos hit a home run off Tim Hill in a five-run eighth inning, giving the Yankees four or more home runs for the third time in five games.
The Mets finished 4-0 against the Yankees this year, matching their 2013 sweep, and outscored them 36-14. The Mets improved to 29-13 after a 24-35 start.
The Yankees (60-44) are 10-22 after a 50-22 start and 1-8-2 in their last 11 series after opening 17-3-2. They have allowed 34 home runs in 18 games in July and have given up five in one game for the first time in two years.
The Yankees went 4-for-36 with runners in scoring position against the Mets this year.
Sean Manaea gave up Gleyber Torres’ leadoff homer in the first inning and Juan Soto’s 26th homer in the third, but the Mets (53-48) rallied from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits to move five games above .500 for the first time since they were 14-9 in April 2023.
Cole (3-2) allowed six runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings, raising his ERA to 5.40. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner has allowed seven homers with an 11.17 ERA in two starts against the Mets and two homers with an ERA of 3.20 in his other five outings.
Taylor hit a tying home run in the third inning, Alonso hit a 2-run home run in the fourth inning, and Lindor hit a 2-run drive in the fifth inning.
Taylor chased Cole down with his third hit, an RBI single in the sixth inning that had fans booing the Yankees ace as he walked to the dugout. Taylor also made a sweeping backhand catch up the middle that robbed Alex Verdugo of a hit in the bottom half.
With the Mets leading 5-2, Adam Ottavino (2-2) was able to force out Anthony Volpe with the bases loaded in the fifth inning to end the inning.
Manaea gave up two runs, three hits and four walks in 4 2/3 innings.
The season-high 48,760 attendance was the Yankees’ 14th sold-out stadium, one shy of their 2023 total.
Torres, back at the top of the batting order for the first time since April 9, hit his first career leadoff home run.
Soto made a leaping catch to rob Jeff McNeil at the top of the right-field wall on the final out of the second. McNeil had homered in his previous two games, including a tiebreaking, two-run drive that led the Mets to a 3-2 victory on Tuesday.
