Twitter user @MasoneDylan ran onto the field Tuesday night during the All-Star Game after he tweeted that he'd do so if he got re-tweeted 1,000 times.

New York City's Citi Field authorities removed @MasoneDylan from the stadium quickly after he jumped onto the field. It is unknown if the man was arrested for his stunt, though he did post a photo of a text from his mother where she warned him about that happening if he followed through with his pledge.

Before the incident, the man blamed Twitter for what was about to happen.

"Should i really do this?" he wrote and later added, "Blame it on social media, love you all."
