Here’s a little scuffle that wasn’t caught in yesterday’s Crime in Brief, turning the Washington Nationals’ stadium into a typical Friday night in Adams Morgan. Deadspin and our neighbors to the north first broke this video of a fight that broke out during Friday night’s Nats/Mets game. It’s hard to tell who instigated the fight, but Gothamist seems to ruminate that alcohol played a large part in the ordeal. A tipster to Deadspin paints the scene: “It was a solid 5 on 5 brawl between some drunk nats fans and obnoxious new yorkers not unlike the one in toronto at ufc 129 … if anything actually little more crazy cuz no one jumped it to stop so it went for probably a full minute or so before police/security showed up.”
The harshest hit comes at the 13-second mark, where a female latecomer into the fray catches an elbow in the face. A few moments later, perhaps a few moments too long, police and stadium security show up to round up the brawlers. Seemingly, every week brings us a new look into our violent human nature, but really kids, it’s hot enough out there — just chill.
