Palestine Flag Pitch Invasion at Mets-Yankees Game
A man carrying a Palestinian flag ran onto the field during a Mets-Yankees game on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and was tackled by stadium staff as fans chanted "USA!"
Stadium staff wrestled him to the grass and held him until police arrived.
Fans in the stands chanted "USA!" several times while he was being led away.
The date carried weight beyond the game itself. On 11 September 2001, hijackers flew two passenger planes into the World Trade Center towers in New York; the attacks that day killed close to 3,000 people.
The incident came in the same week that USA finished second in Group B of the Americas Pacific Challenge, with two points from three matches.
