The Palestinian flag-waving idiot who sprinted onto the field at Yankee Stadium during the 9/11 25th Anniversary game hours after posting an unhinged Facebook rant about the terrorist attack has been identified and charged.
Kelly Marcucci, 38, of Long Island, is facing misdemeanor charges for interference with a professional sporting event and trespassing, according to the NYPD.

Marcucci, 38, allegedly jumped from the stands onto the baseball field, according to cops.
The demonstrator charged the field in the seventh inning of the Yankees-Mets Subway Series game in The Bronx on Friday at exactly 9:11 p.m. — before quickly getting tackled in centerfield by security, video showed.
Fans immediately broke out into chants of “USA!” when the man was brought down onto the grass.
Just hours before the stunt, Marcucci posted an unhinged, rambling rant on Facebook.

He went off on a nonsensical tangent about capitalism, Zionism, Saudi Arabia and 9/11, mentioning a string of high-profile people including President Trump and Joe Rogan.
Marcucci also posted a brief video of himself on his Facebook story at the baseball game before he allegedly stormed onto the field, showing off his “K. Marcucci” jersey from the stands.
The front of the shirt reads “No Kings,” a widespread anti-Trump sentiment.
Representatives for the Mets and Yankees did not immediately return requests for comment.
