HOUSTON, Texas - French star Thierry Henry was grabbed and jumped upon by two spectators who ran from the stands during the New York Red Bulls' 2-2 Major League Soccer draw with the 10-man Houston Dynamo on Saturday.
The former Barcelona and Arsenal star, who set up Colombian Juan Pablo Angel on both New York goals, received his greeting from over-exhuberant fans after Houston's Brian Mullan equalized in the 90th minute to lift the Dynamo to a draw.
Moments after the goal, the spectators ran onto the field and confronted Henry at midfield in his US league debut, having already played twice for the Red Bulls in international exhibition matches last week.
