Fan leaps down two rows to stomp fellow spectator in wild brawl during Mets-White Sox game

Another brawl broke out at a Chicago baseball game, and this one made last week’s fisticuffs look like a tea party.

A group of White Sox fans got into it Sunday during the Southsiders’ 2-1 win over the Mets in a shocking scene that spanned nearly half a section.

It’s unclear how or why the skirmish started, but multiple viral videos from different angles showed about a dozen fans in section 518 punching, shoving and stomping on each other while moving dangerously close to the railing at the front of the section.

As the extracurriculars spread, some bystanders fled the scene — “there’s a kid!” one shouted — while others whipped out their phones.

Some even rushed to get involved themselves.

At one point, a fan jumped down two rows and landed feet-first on a man’s stomach after he was pushed to the ground.

That man then grabbed his attacker by the shirt and aggressively flung him down another row of seats, somehow losing his own shirt in the process.

A loud gasp could be heard from around the ballpark as the crowd turned its attention away from the product on the field.

Even as security guards — some wielding handcuffs — showed up to break up the fight, fans could be seen continuing to point and shout at each other, with one man even defying his handler to get in one last hit before he was held back by the arm.

There was even a bit of a crowd pop on the final blow.

It’s the second melee involving White Sox fans in less than a week after a viral incident during Chicago’s Crosstown Classic at Wrigley Field. Multiple fans were arrested during that game for an unrelated infraction.

Unlike last week’s brawl at the Friendly Confines that was between rivals, this one appeared to be mostly friendly fire between White Sox fans.
