Protester Interrupts Yankees-Mets 9/11 Game Waving Palestinian Flag
The protester evaded security for seconds before being tackled, and fans booed and chanted USA as he was removed.
- At 9:11 p.m. on Friday, a spectator wearing a "No Kings" jersey ran onto the field at Yankee Stadium waving a Palestinian flag, briefly evading security before being tackled on the outfield grass.
- The incident occurred during a game steeped in commemorations of the September 11, 2001 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people, framing the evening with heightened historical significance.
- Fans seated above the Mets bullpen threw drinks toward the spectator as the crowd booed, then erupted into loud chants of "USA." Play had been halted in the seventh inning with the Yankees leading 5-2.
- Security detained the individual and escorted him off the field beyond the center-field wall, while the New York Yankees organization declined to comment on the security breach, according to The Athletic.
- The incident reflects broader tensions from the Gaza conflict, which began after Hamas-led terrorists invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, with a ceasefire under President Donald Trump's Gaza plan taking effect in October 2025.
