Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up routine was interrupted by a pro-Palestine protester who stood up near the beginning of his show on Saturday screaming 'free Gaza.'
In a video obtained by TMZ, the heckler is seen getting out of his seat at Seinfeld's show in Norfolk, Virginia to shout directly at the Jewish comedian.
'You're a genocide supporter!' the man said, before gesturing to the entire crowd and also accusing them of being 'genocide supporters.'
'You should all be ashamed of yourselves!' he shouted.
Audience members were loudly booing the heckler, with some telling him to 'get out of here.'
Fewer than 30 seconds after the Palestine supporter made himself known, a man in a green shirt ran up and started attacking him, eventually putting him into a headlock.
An audience member caught the showdown between the protester, seen second from the right, and his attacker, standing immediately to his left in a green shirt

The protester tried to keep screaming up to the stage during the scuffle, and some fans were heard clapping now that the heckler was being silenced.
'I love a little Jew hate to spice up the show,' Seinfeld said as the fight broke out.
An alternate angle recorded from someone sitting even closer to the fight shows the man in the green shirt moments before the attack looking angry.
'Get out. Get out. You're ruining it for everybody else ... Get the f**k out!' the attacker tells the protester as he pushes him.
An audience member is heard telling the man to let go of the protester.
'You're going to break his neck,' they said.
The tussle lasted a solid 20 seconds before security guards arrived to break it up.

Seinfeld's show reportedly had eight demonstrators interrupting throughout the hour and a half show in Virginia
The crowd then began to chant 'Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!' as security escorted the demonstrator out of the venue.
According to people at the show, Seinfeld told everyone not to boo the man because he had the right to protest.
Others throughout the night certainly exercised that right, with TMZ reporting there were about eight demonstrators who disrupted Seinfeld's stand up.
A different audience member interrupted Seinfeld in the middle of a joke saying, 'Save the children of Gaza! No more American tax dollars for genocide!'
The woman next to him told him to 'shut up and get out.'
Seinfeld, who has been described as being 'uncharacteristically vocal' in his support for Jews in Israel, is seen giving a guest speech at Duke University's commencement ceremony
The comedian was met with a a mix of cheers and boos as he was introduced at the ceremony
Seinfeld has made his support for Israel very clear, which has made him a favorite celebrity target for angry agitators.
The billionaire comedian the Times of Israel in December 2023, a little over two months after the war in Gaza began, that he 'lived and worked on a kibbutz in Israel when I was 16 and I have loved our Jewish homeland ever since.'
He added that he would 'always stand with Israel and the Jewish people.'
Following those comments, Seinfeld was accosted in New York City after attending the State of the World Jewry Address in February.
Journalist Bari Weiss gave the address, and as Seinfeld left the event, protestors repeatedly screamed at him 'free Palestine' and 'you support genocide.'
And most recently, dozens of Duke University students walked out of their own commencement ceremony over frustration that Seinfeld was about to speak.
