Witnesses reportedly told TMZ that people were yelling “Go Blue Jays” just hours after the Yankees beat the Jays in Game 1 of a three-game series.

Toronto Police say they responded to the area around 3 a.m. Saturday after reports of a fight. Everyone involved had dispersed by the time they arrived.
