A violent brawl between New York Mets and Atlanta Braves fans was caught on camera Saturday night at Citi Field.
Footage from the fight shows Citi Field security attempting to stop a man in a Braves jersey swinging at two other men, one of whom was wearing a Jacob deGrom jersey. The Braves supporter seemed to miss his shot, so the Mets fans punched over the security guard as at least one onlooker screamed, “F*** him up!”

Several more punches were thrown before the Braves fan appeared to catch one directly on his nose, knocking him out cold, according to Fox News. It’s unclear what happened to spark the aggression, but the crowd can be heard cheering on the violence in the video shared to Twitter.
No further information was provided on what happened to those involved in the brawl afterwards, according to the New York Post. The Mets won against the Braves in both games Saturday, Fox reported.

A follow-up video appeared to show the man in the Braves jersey being dragged out of the stadium by security and others. The man can be heard screaming for his shoes, which apparently fell off as he was led through the venue.
