A pair of Knicks fans were seen pummeling each other at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night as their team played the Raptors.
According to an X user who posted a clip of the incident, the fighting happened ‘about three minutes into the game,’ though it was not specified why the violence began.
Nonetheless, the two fans – one wearing tan and the other in black – were seen exchanging punches for several seconds before nearby fans broke it up.
An MSG Sports spokesperson later told the New York Post that the ‘aggressor was immediately removed from the venue following the altercation.’
‘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 spokesperson continued.
It’s not clear which fan was the aggressor in question.
