Mr. Met Gets Jumped at Shea

Usually it's the crazy mascots attacking fans, or doing stupid things in the vicinity of fans, that causes trouble. Or just Benny the Bull. But Saturday, it was a fan upset with Mr. Met, apparently, that led to a little scuffle at Shea Stadium.

Christian Hansen of Gowanus, Brooklyn, was seen "harassing Mr. Met and pushing little children out of the way" at Shea Stadium, a law-enforcement source said.

When security officials told the soused sports nut to leave, he refused.

Then, as security guards escorted out the Mr. Met-basher, Hansen took a wild swing at an employee and spit in his face, law-enforcement sources said.

A woman who identified herself as Hansen's girlfriend denied he had been in a confrontation with guards or Mr. Met.

"It's not true," she said. "Nothing ever happened with Mr. Met."

Yeah, sure, lady. Whatever you say. We all know that either a) Mr. Met had his cartoony mitts all over you -- he is quite the lady's man -- or b) he refused to show up to your wedding and mosh-dance during the reception. Either are certainly acceptable for being angry and going all Ventura on the mascot, but pushing kids out of the way? Totally un-dude, dude.
