Fans trade punches in wild brawl at Knicks-Raptors game

Two enthusiastic spectators got into a physical altercation in the audience at Madison Square Garden while the Knicks were playing against the Raptors. The incident was captured in a short video shared on social media.

The 15-second clip, recorded early into the Knicks’ 112-98 win over the Raptors, showed two men going at it somewhere in the 100s section behind one of the baskets. 

The video picks up with the two men grappling with one another, with one man in the row behind the other individual. 

One of the men wore a tan jacket and jeans, while the other donned a black long-sleeve shirt with dark-colored jeans. 

After a few seconds, the man in the long-sleeved shirt began throwing haymakers, with one punch seeming to connect with near the side of the other brawler’s neck. 

The person in the tan jacket responded with a punch of their own before the person filming the video panned out to show the court and MSG scoreboard before shifting back to filming the fight. 

By the time the camera pans back to the incident, cooler heads seemed to prevail and the man in the black shirt was restrained by another person. 

The video stopped before security arrived in the section. 

“I was right behind the fight! Crazy that two people found something to fight about 3 minutes into the game,” wrote the person who recorded the video and posted it on X. 

The two men were later seen being escorted from their seats. 

“We are aware of the incident, and while we aren’t going to get into specifics, the aggressor was immediately removed from the venue following the altercation,” an MSG Sports spokesperson said in a statement to The Post. “It is our top priority to provide a safe environment for our guests and as stated in our code of conduct, we do not tolerate violence of any kind in our venues.”

The two fans missed seeing the Knicks snapping their three-game losing streak behind 27-point efforts from OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns.
