During the game between Arizona Cardinals and Washington Commanders on Sunday, the fans were busy in a brawl that surfaced in a video.
The disturbing video of the Commanders fan and Baltimore Ravens fan brawl shows fans pushing and fighting against each other.
The fan in the Commanders jersey in the video was apparently arrested and charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, and assault by the Prince George’s County Police.
As shown in the video, the fan Martino Ancora wearing a Ray Lewis jersey was repeatedly assaulted by an unidentified Commanders fan at the stand.
The fan fell on the stairs a few times and was punched by the unidentified fan many times during the Commanders and Cardinals game. The game ended with the Washington Commanders beating the Arizona Cardinals by 20-16 in Week 1 of the season.
While on the side, two female fans were also seen on the video pulling each other’s hair and kicking on the stand.
Ancora spoke with a new channel on his side of the story; the video has been widely circulated online.

“A gentleman in a row ahead of me started being disrespectful and misbehaving. We exchanged a few words, and then he pushed my shoulder. Then another person sitting in my aisle came and pushed the whole aisle because of which my girlfriend and I fell on the ground.”
He added after this, another fan held me from behind and locked my arms. I didn’t even realize it was even the event staff until I watched the video widely circulating online. I was under the impression that it might be an event staff trying to de-escalate the situation.
A police official spoke on the Ancora arrest, he was charged with trespass, disorderly conduct, and second-degree assault because he allegedly punched the officer who was escorting him out.
Ancora said he was told he was permanently banned from FedEx Field.
