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.
- Commemorations of the September 11, 2001, attacks framed the evening, with the Yankees having honored those killed and welcomed 2001 team members including Derek Jeter for pregame ceremonies.
- Fans seated above the Mets bullpen threw drinks while the crowd booed and erupted into loud "USA" chants; play was halted in the seventh inning with the Yankees leading 5-2.
- Security detained the spectator and escorted him off the field beyond the center-field wall, while the New York Yankees organization declined to comment on the incident, 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.
