MIDTOWN — A wild St. Patrick's Day street brawl left two teens with fractures in their faces, police said.

On Tuesday, two 17-year-old boys got into an argument inside O'Brien's Irish Pub, at 134 W. 46th. St., with three men wearing New York Jets jerseys, police said.

The fight moved outside the bar where the three men, all in Jets jerseys, punched, kicked and struck the victims with bottles, police said.

Video of the brawl posted on Facebook shows one suspect smash a bottle over one of the victim's heads and remain on the street for several minutes. The suspects were eventually pulled off the victims by people on the street, the video shows.

 

The suspects then fled the scene, police said.

The two victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital with fractures in their faces, bumps and bruises, police said.

Workers at the bar refused comment on the fight.

The suspects were described by police as being in their early twenties.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
