Woman claims in lawsuit to have been attacked by Jets fans at Giants Stadium

A woman says her daughter’s love for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady brought out the worst in fans who allegedly attacked her at Giants Stadium last year. And now she wants the Giants to pay — even though it was a Patriots-Jets game — because it was at Big Blue’s stadium.

Michelle Munoz, 43, was allegedly attacked during the Sept. 20 game by Jets fans who went bonkers because her teenage daughter wore a Patriots jersey and held a sign that read "Danielle Loves Tom Brady."

Munoz’s attorney, Evan Foulke, said six drunken fans then grabbed Michelle from behind and "punched, hit, kicked and trampled" her, leaving her with neck injuries. She left the stadium on her own.

Foulke said she’s been in constant medical treatment since the incident and she might need surgery.

"She’s in chronic pain," he said of Munoz, who lives in upstate Orange County.

The suit, filed in July in New Jersey, says security was negligent and allowed the attack to happen. It also names the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which runs the security.

Munoz, who is a housewife, had complained to security during halftime about unruly fans, but Foulke said they didn’t help and told her: "What do you want from me? You’re Patriots fans."

The alleged attackers were not named.

The Giants didn’t comment, and the NJSEA didn’t reply by press time. (with ap)
