James Mohr Beaten: Jets Fan Hospitalized Following Fight With Fans After Chiefs Game (VIDEO)

Another ugly incident of fan-on-fan violence occurred following the New York Jets' resounding 38-10 triumph win over the Kansas City Chiefs. After the game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Gang Green supporter James Mohr was brutally beaten by what the New York Post describes as a "drunken gang of Kansas City Chiefs fans."

Police in New Jersey initially charged 35-year-old Merle Lee with "simple assault" after the incident. After Mohr's condition worsened, the charges were upgraded to "aggravated assault."

According to the Post, Mohr was walking through the parking lot when a woman began taunted him about the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001. Mohr's family said that one of the assailants screamed "F--k New York. You all deserved what happened on 9/11!"

Mohr, physical-education teacher at the Bronx Guild vocational high school, was reportedly jumped by up to seven people, supposedly after he took offense to the 9/11 remarks. A police source confirmed to the Post that at least one of them was wearing a Chiefs jersey. Although the family of the 23-year-old victim maintains that his assailants were Chiefs fans, police told the Associated Press on Wednesday that the incident "was not a Jets-Chiefs melee."

Mohr underwent facial surgery on Tuesday at New Jersey's Hackensack University Medical Center. MyFox New York reported that when Mohr was first taken to the hospital, emergency room staff said they handle far too many instances of postgame violence.

Earlier this season, a fight broke out between Jets and Cowboys fans in the stands of MetLife Stadium. A man in a Cowboys jersey had allegedly brought a stun gun past security and used it on a Jets fan, who happened to be a Marine. The Dallas fan was charged with three counts of aggravated assault and two weapons counts.

The fan violence hasn't just occurred on the East Coast and it doesn't pertain to just the NFL.

On opening day of the 2011 baseball season, a San Francisco Giants fan named Bryan Stow was attacked and critically injured outside of Dodgers Stadium by two men wearing Dodgers clothing. The Dodgers increased security measures a week after the attack.

Ridiculous! There seems to be a group of idiots at most sporting events. You guys wouldn't believe some of the things that I have witnessed at recent college football games. I've even seen children being harassed to tears. I just don't understand this behavior since I love my favorite team too and have also been quite drunk at the stadium, but I have never felt compelled to do more than sing our fight song and cheer. I hope poor Jimmy gets well soon.

Theyre from Kansas City. What do you expect from people that live a meaningless place like that! Theyre still living in the middle ages!

Nice try though.

Is that what people in Kansas believe? wow! I mean, I know that for most of America outside NY and NJ, 9/11 is a campaign season prop, but for them to actually yell it is further proof that the whole "rush of Patriotism" was not that honest.

Well, I once got some angry eyes on me when I suggested to bring back the traditional "take me out to the ball game" song to baseball games during the 7th inning...

My family are Chiefs season ticket holders (45 years). I can assure you, these were simply drunken idiots, not true Chiefs fans. First of all, from a practical standpoint, nobody expected the Chiefs to win behind a QB like Palko. No big shock we lost to the Jets. Secondly, this was reported in the NY Post, and was discounted after the cops did their investigation. As far as 9-11 goes, the first NFL Sunday after that tragedy, the NY Giants played KC in Arrowhead. The Chiefs fans gave the Giants a standing ovation. Firemen's boots were passed around the stadium, and average Kansas Citians donated thousands of dollars to 9-11 relief efforts. KC had a big heart, Chiefs fans are good fans. Nobody in their right mind would insult New Yorkers with 9-11 taunts.

I don't trust the New York Post. I also find it tough to believe that a "gang" of Chiefs fans is running around New York or New Jersey spouting off 9/11 epithets. I think you're more likely to find George Costanza's "Van Buren Gang".

I believe the report. I am not surprised that people in Kansas City fills that way about 9/11... they did not live here and they did not endured what we endured.

Come correct- it's "Van Buren Boys". And now you're marked!

Um...people get drunk for hours before the game in a country that loves firearms, frankly I am surprised there are not more shootings at these events but of course there isn't a traveling fan culture here. Still sad that this guy was set upon.

Guns and alcohol don't mix. Every responsible gun owner knows that.

It's just the irresponsible few who reversed laws about bringing weapons into bars in Tennessee.

Fair share of gun owners in this country are not responsible.

First, something reported by the NY Post has all the veracity of a story reported on "Fox and Friends." Saying "it was reported in the NY Post" is like saying "I heard it from a guy whose cousin's friend's grandfather's army-buddy's co-worker said..."

Second, a Jets life-long season ticket holder once told me that it's not a Jets game until a fight breaks out. Went to a game with him, and sure enough, by the 3rd quarter there were fights breaking out on the Jets side of the stands.

Finally, it WAS, IS, and always WILL BE, "GIANTS Stadium."

First, you are correct. Nobody in NY with half a brain takes the Post seriously.

Second, I have been to quite a few Giants games and never have witnessed a fight but than the Stadium was filled with Giants fans and not Jets fans.

Finally, it WAS, IS and always WILL BE "GIANTS Stadium"...Ain't that the truth.

Yeah... Giants fans never do anything stupid... obviously you forgot the "Snowball Game" in 95 when drunken Giants fans pelted players and each other with chunks of ice; seriously hurting an assistant coach for the Chargers...

Yeah, you STAY CLASSY BIG BLEW FANS...

I agree... I am sure that he was not completely innocent. However, it takes a savage group of people to jump one person and beat them until they are unconscious and need surgery. That is just over-kill.

It's not unusual for JETS games at Giants Stadium. I've been to both Giants games and Jets games, and the two fan bases are totally different.

I live in Kansas City and I can assure you the economy is so bad here no one could afford to go to New York AND afford enough beers in a football stadium to get drunk. They had to be local.
