A fan seated near Wednesday’s Mr. Met incident at Citi Field claims that for most of the evening, the mascot was being harassed by the fans who were sitting in the vicinity of the episode.
“Mr. Met was being heckled all night from those fans, and security spoke to the fans about it after Mr. Met’s handler spoke up,” the fan, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Post. “I do know that the fans were cursing at Mr. Met with the F-word and saying derogatory things about Mr. Met’s mom …. which led to the gesture because of a personal matter with his mom.
