Racial slurs hurled in bleacher brawl at Wrigley on Hispanic Heritage Night
An ugly fight in the Wrigley Field bleachers in which a fan hurled racial slurs unfolded after Hispanic Heritage Night at the Cubs game on Monday night, according to videos shared on social media by a fan who witnessed the brawl.
The incident began after the Cubs' 5-1 loss to the Pirates. The game featured specially priced tickets, which included T-shirts reading "Los Cubs."
Danny Rockett - who hosts a Cubs podcast called The Son Ranto Show - began videotaping as at least a half-dozen people got involved in a melee while others tried to pull them away from each other. The scene unfolds in the left-field bleachers in a largely empty stadium; organ music can be heard in the background.
Two men separate from the larger group and exchange punches. "He hit me in the face," one man yells. A woman can be heard screaming, "Stop it! Stop it!" Smaller arguments start and stop.
Cubs security guards, wearing red shirts, can be seen trying to separate the groups and eventually breaking things up.
