A man carrying a Palestinian flag ran onto the field at Yankee Stadium during a Subway Series game Friday night. The incident occurred at approximately 9:11 p.m., on the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The individual entered the field during the seventh inning of the game between the Yankees and the Mets. As the man waved the flag, some fans in the crowd reacted with anger, with some initiating "USA! USA!" chants, while others were heard shouting expletives at him.
The timing of the disruption coincided with New York City's observance of the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Details regarding how the man accessed the field, the duration of the interruption, and his subsequent apprehension were not immediately available.
