New footage has emerged from the massive brawl in the stands at Yankee Stadium earlier this week – showing a fan being stomped in the aisle as things escalated.
The melee occurred during the Yankees’ 11-4 loss to the Angels on Thursday, with the initial video shot behind the fight in the left field upper deck.
The new angle posted to Instagram is much closer to the action, showing a fan in a red shirt and one in a white shirt appearing to get into a verbal argument with another patron.
A fan in a gray Yankees shirt comes flying into the frame from the right side to throw a punch at the two individuals, momentarily knocking them into the seats as the crowd yells: ‘Oh!, Oh!”
The fans in the red and white shirts regain their footing as a Yankees supporter in a Gerrit Cole jersey gets into the scrap. The fan in the white shirt starts throwing hammer-fist punches at the fan in the grey shirt.
The fan in the red shirt is confronted by another patron in a blue Yankees jersey, who he clocks in the face with a punch and shoves him down onto the steps. As that’s going on, the fan in the Gerrit Cole jersey appears to shove the other two fans to the ground.
As the video shifts its focus, the fan in the red shirt can be seen kicking and aggressively mushing the face of the blue-jerseyed fan as two other patrons try to de-escalate the situation to no avail.
The fan in the red shirt then starts stomping on the downed fan again before the two were finally pulled apart.
The fan and the red shirt can be seen continuing to jaw at other fans across the aisles and appears to get one more kick in on the fans on the ground next to him, but it’s unclear if he made contact and to whom.
The fracas occurred as the Angels rallied in the sixth inning, scoring four runs to take a 6-4 lead.
The Yankees ended up splitting four games with the Angels before bouncing back with a 4-2 win over the Royals.
