Vision has emerged of an NHL fan get punched directly in the face after an expletive-laden attack on another man, the New York Post reports.

The incident occurred during the Dallas Stars’ 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday night (US time) at American Airlines Center.

Vision of the incident, which you can watch above, shows a mullet-rocking Stars fan dropping the N-word, which led to him getting punched multiple times.

It’s unclear how the altercation exactly started, but the video shows the Stars fan telling the other attendee, who was wearing a black polo, to “step down here and I’ll box your arse”

The other man was seemed unfazed by the fighting words, which led the loudmouth fan, who was white, to say: “All right then. Stay the f**k up there. Dumbass n***a.”

Once the black polo-wearing fan heard those words, he punched the Dallas fan right in the jaw, sending him into the seats.

The Stars fan immediately tried to retaliate, but the attendee who punched him was able to hold him off.

The scuffle escalated to where a female Stars fan began attacking the polo-wearing attendee as well, but the two were quickly held off by onlookers who came in to intervene.

The Stars fan who initially started the fight was eventually pinned down, and he was called a “little boy” — much to his dismay.

“Hell naw,” the Dallas fan said while restrained. “I ain’t done s**t. He hit me first. F**k that.”

Even if their fans can’t fight, the Stars still sit on top of the Central Division with a 30-13-10 record.
