Fans clash in violent melee during White Sox win over Mets
A chaotic fight erupted among spectators in section 518 at a Chicago baseball game, with dozens of White Sox fans punching, shoving and even stomping each other.
In Chicago, a melee involving White Sox supporters unfolded in section 518 as the team secured a 2-1 win over the Mets. Multiple video angles captured about a dozen fans exchanging punches, shoves and stomps, with the confrontation spilling close to the front railing. At one point a spectator jumped down two rows, landing feet-first on a man's stomach; the victim then grabbed the aggressor's shirt and flung him down another row, losing his own shirt in the process.
Bystanders either fled, filmed the chaos, or tried to join the fray, while security guards arrived armed with handcuffs to break up the fight. Despite their presence, some fans kept pointing and shouting, and one individual attempted a final blow before being held back. This disturbance mirrors a prior altercation among White Sox fans that took place earlier in the week during a different game at Wrigley Field.
