CORONA — Three New York City firefighters were arrested for brawling after a Mets game at McFadden's Bar inside Citi Field Friday, police said.

The fight broke out at just after 8 p.m. inside the bar, which is attached to the team's home ballpark, according to the NYPD.

Michael Profeta, 34, John Martin, 33, and Anthony Cardazone, 33, were arrested and charged with assault and disorderly conduct, police said.

Cardazone also picked up an additional charge of resisting arrest.

It's not clear who the three FDNY members were fighting, although a spokesman with the NYPD said they were not fighting each other. 

The arrests are under investigation by the fire department, according to an FDNY spokesman, who declined to comment further.

The Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 in their home opener, which started at 1 p.m.
