Fireman Ed of J-E-T-S Fame Charged With Simple Assault for Shoving Giants Fan

Add famous fan “Fireman Ed” Anzalone to the long list of members of this year’s dysfunctional Jets family to find themselves in hot water.

The Jets’ superfan has been charged with simple assault Wednesday, according to Connor Orr of The Star Ledger

Giants fan Christopher Black‘s lawyer explains his client’s side of the story.

“My client walked to the front of his section and stood next to Fireman Ed to start a ‘Giants’ chant while fireman Ed was doing his ‘Jets’ chant,” the lawyer said. “Fireman Ed essentially turned and first shoved him down. And when Chris got back up, he started to chant ‘Giants Giants Giants’ again, [Ed] grabbed a helmet of some sort and shoved him down to the ground.”

Black was arrested shortly after. Check out footage of the incident below.
