A fight breaks out at the Falcons-Saints when one fan kicks another in the head

A fight breaks out at the Falcons-Saints when one fan kicks another in the head

An ugly scene unfolded in the stands at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during the Falcons' 26-24 win over their NFC South rival, the Saints, on Sunday.

Video emerged of a horrific fight in the upper levels of Falcons Stadium, where a fan wearing a white Falcons jersey was filmed kicking and kicking another man in the head before a female Fan was able to get him under control and pull him away from him continuing the attack.

It's unclear exactly when during the game the disturbing event occurred, but a second social media post appeared to confirm that the beating took place in or around Section 321.

Warning: graphic violence

The clip making the rounds on social media showed the man in the Falcons jersey kicking the man in a red shirt and tan pants in the head while a female fan tried to wrestle him back.

The attack continues, and he is then seen stomping on what appears to be the fighter's head twice before being briefly pulled away.

The clip ends with a fight between two other men before cutting off.

A second video seemingly begins where the first fight left off, focusing on a man in a black shirt and jeans pinning another man in a white shirt.

As a separate person in a red Falcons jersey comes in to break up the fight, the fan in the white Falcons jersey can be seen in the background trying to throw another punch at the person he was fighting with – who is still fighting lay on the ground.

The video showed a second female fan jumping in to stop him from hitting the man as he lay on the ground.

Fights at NFL venues seem to have become more common in recent years.

In the same year there was a second altercation between two fans

That included a bloody fight that took place outside a game between the Raiders and Chargers earlier this month.
