Bizarre moment New York Mets fan falls 12 feet over railings and onto the field midway through Sunday’s game vs. the Giants… but escaped injury and got back to his seat!
The New York Mets game against the Giants at Citi Field was momentarily paused on Sunday night when a fan bizarrely fell over the railings and onto the field.
It was the bottom of the fifth when the game needed to be stopped. The moment the fan fell, presumably by accident, was not caught on the broadcast but cameras swiftly cut to the man stood by the wall holding his face.

As security ran towards him, he held his hands up to signal he wasn’t a pitch invader or anyone looking to cause unrest and appeared to be hurt by a fall and face plant from around 12 feet.
A video soon emerged on twitter showing the fan on the floor and he looked slightly dazed.
Other supporters can be heard calling out to ask if he is alright and almost laughing in disbelief as they say ‘the game is still going on!’.

The man appeared to be asking fans to throw down napkins for him to hold up to his bloodied nose.
‘That’s no joke there,’ David Cone said on the broadcast. ‘Hopefully he’s OK.’
He was holding his face but seemed to be unhurt – by the top of the sixth, cameras found him back among the crowd and he showed no sign of any cuts or bruises.
Fortunately for him too, he was wearing a hat and sunglasses which he recovered from the field to help keep his face disguised.
But he still had a great story to tell the fans he was sat with as he made it back to his seat for the rest of the game.
It all appeared to be a genuine accident. And fortunately there was no insult to injury for him – the Mets won 8-4 and clinched their first MLB series win in a month.
The Mets were leading 5-1 at the time with Francisco Alvarez at the plate.
