DK Metcalf might have nerves of steel ... but, a Detroit Lions fan got on his last one -- and video shows him taking a swing at the guy!

The wild moment went down late in the second quarter of the Lions matchup against DK's Pittsburgh Steelers ... with the CBS broadcast first showing a tense convo between the veteran wide receiver and a DET fan in a bright blue wig.

Metcalf then quickly reached up with his closed right fist ... seemingly landing a glancing blow on the fan's face before walking away.

3:53 PM PT -- A Waymo spokesperson tells TMZ ... “We are resuming ride-hailing service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yesterday’s power outage was a widespread event that caused gridlock across San Francisco, with non-functioning traffic signals and transit disruptions. While the failure of the utility infrastructure was significant, we are committed to ensuring our technology adjusts to traffic flow during such events.

“Throughout the outage, we closely coordinated with San Francisco city officials. We are focused on rapidly integrating the lessons learned from this event, and are committed to earning and maintaining the trust of the communities we serve every day.”

San Francisco was hit with a major power outage Saturday night, turning the whole city into darkness and dangerously stalling a ton of self-driving Waymo taxis.

The citywide outage forced Waymo to halt its driverless car service, stranding the autonomous vehicles in the middle of the streets and intersections, according to pedestrians posting videos on X Saturday.

A Waymo spokesperson tells TMZ that ride-hailing services have been "temporarily suspended" due to the outage. They added, "Our teams are working diligently and in close coordination with city officials to monitor infrastructure stability, and we are hopeful to bring our services back online soon.”

SFGATE reports the company had to shut down its operation at around 8 p.m. due to the cars being unable to operate without traffic signals.

According to online footage, at least four Waymo vehicles were parked in the middle of an intersection with their hazards on, creating a large traffic jam at the busy intersection in the North Beach neighborhood.

SFGATE reports thousands of San Franciscans still remain without power on Sunday morning, as PG&E crews continue to work to restore electricity after a now nearly day-long outage.

Not part of the Throb Mob yet? Buckle up, ’cause Boy Throb -- the TikTok viral boyband -- will soon have your hearts throbbing too ... but they want to make one thing crystal clear, telling TMZ they’re not satire ... even if the full group hasn’t hit the stage together just yet!

Three of the four Throbbers -- Evan Papier, Anthony Key and Zachary Sobania -- chatted with TMZ Thursday fresh out of a Chase Bank ... where they were trying to score a loan to cover visa costs to get their fourth member, Darshan Magdum, from India to the U.S. Yeah -- that’s one big indicator of just how serious they are.

Their infectious, high-energy hustle to get Darshan -- currently holding it down on Zoom -- over to the States has sent them rocketing to viral fame. And with Grammy dreams already locked in, the guys insist they’re built to last.

The woman made famous in a drunken San Francisco restaurant fiasco put up one helluva fight with staff before getting face-planted ... and she's only 5 feet tall, new dispatch audio reveals.

TMZ just obtained the audio from Broadcastify, which gives another window into what happened Saturday night ... when Shireen Afkari got into a battle with workers at Patxi's Pizza. Video gone viral shows a wasted Afkari getting tossed out of the joint with her boyfriend.

In the audio, the dispatcher describes Afkari as a 5-foot-tall woman in her late 20s or early 30s, trying to get physical with the bar staff. But, as you know from the video, Afkari didn't "try" to get physical -- the pint-sized patron went all WWE on the workers, even pulling the hair of one employee.

Kristin Cabot -- one half of the couple who went viral on social media this summer when they were caught getting cozy at a Coldplay concert -- has confirmed she and ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron are not dating ... and she blames the whole fiasco on alcohol.

The former "chief people officer" for Astronomer opened up about the life-changing ordeal in an interview with The New York Times published Thursday ... she confirmed she is not dating Byron. In fact, they barely have any contact at all. She reasoned ... "Speaking with each other was going to make it too hard for everyone to move on and heal."

Cabot told the NYT she understands she made a choice -- an alcohol-fueled one -- that has now impacted her career. She explained ... "I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss. And it’s not nothing. And I took accountability, and I gave up my career for that. That’s the price I chose to pay."

However, as she and her loved ones -- including her minor kids -- continue to heal from the traumatizing publicity, she is speaking out because she doesn't want her silence to become acceptance, noting ... "I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up. But you don’t have to be threatened to be killed for them."

If falling flat on her face wasn't enough to teach her a lesson ... the irate woman who was tripped by a San Francisco restaurant staff member over the weekend after she caused a scene was arrested shortly after the incident.

We told you about the wild altercation -- the woman, named Shireen Afkari -- made a mess of herself at a popular food spot as she strenuously argued with employees and got physical with patrons filming her. Now, the San Francisco Police Department has confirmed to TMZ she was taken into custody Saturday night.

While she appeared to make a painful escape in the viral video, Afkari was located by officers and detained for public intoxication ... and subsequently transported to the county jail after officers responded to the business on Hayes Street just before 10 PM.

Gary Busey's new social media post is us giving "goose"-bumps ... and we mean that quite literally -- since it features his bizarre impression of a goose in flight.

The actor shared the clip to social media Tuesday ... in which he promises his approximately 374K social media followers an excellent holiday gift -- before making loud honking noises into the camera.

Busey then says, "That's what a goose sounds like when they're flying, to let you know they're up there."

A viral video that appears to highlight radio DJs in Arkansas having sex in the control room -- unbeknownst to them, live on air -- is a total fake, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... a video clip circulating on social media shows a car radio tuned to Power 92.3 Jams in Little Rock ... and it sure sounds like the DJs are going at it on a hot mic. Naturally, the wild and hilarious situation -- which people assumed was legit -- spread like wildfire.

Turns out, those sharing it are the ones who got played ... 'cause Keith Liesmann, regional VP/market manager for the station's parent company Cumulus, tells TMZ ... "We are aware of a video circulating online and want to be absolutely clear: it is fabricated and untrue. Nothing depicted in the video occurred, and it has no connection to Power 92."

Nick Reiner -- who is charged with killing his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner -- appeared in court today for the first time since the couple's unspeakable murders.

Nick was seated behind glass in a Los Angeles courtroom Wednesday for a very brief appearance ... and he did not enter a plea. His arraignment was continued to Jan. 7 ... he remains held without bail.

Nick was wearing a suicide-prevention smock in the courtroom, according to multiple reports, and before the hearing, the judge ruled that media could not shoot video or snap photos of Nick.

During the hearing, Nick spoke only once ... the judge asked him to confirm he was waiving his right to a speedy arraignment and Nick replied, "Yes, your honor."

If you think Chipotle isn't spicy, you should head to West Hartford, Connecticut ... things got heated between customers and employees in a holiday brawl caught on video!

Watch the footage ... at the start of filming, a customer appears to throw a metal tray at a worker before diving behind the counter. As the customer rains blows down on the fallen employee, their coworkers step in.

Then another customer matches up with a different employee -- this one involved a lot more hair-pulling.

A singer narrowly avoided serious injury during a show in Peru ... collapsing to the ground because of an electric shock he suffered while grabbing the mic.

Carlos Suarez and his rock band Mi Mejor Amigo Scott were playing in Lima over the weekend when Suarez stepped up to start a song and wrapped his right hand around the equipment ... before letting out a primal scream and falling backward.

A couple people onstage rushed to unplug the equipment ... and, once unplugged, others tended to Suarez, according to local outlet Buenos Días Perú.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good fight! Insane video from a San Francisco restaurant shows a rowdy, belligerent patron going down hard on the sidewalk following an extended altercation with customers and staff.

Watch the video posted yesterday ... there's so much to cover. First, we see a young woman -- slurring her words and cursing loudly -- upset with a manager for apparently cutting her off from the bar. With her camera phone out, the woman appears to be planning to catch the staff "harassing" her. But while she's filming them, the rest of the customers are filming her.

The staff basically ignore her tirade, so the woman picks a fight with a fellow customer, violently swiping at the innocent bystander who had been recording the whole thing. The woman's date -- also visibly inebriated -- then restrains her as she swings wildly at the customer.

Then, as the woman walks away from the assault she just committed, a staffer appears to expertly take the obnoxious young woman to the ground with a swift trip. Somebody's taken a judo class or two!

Politics 101: When the talking stops working, the insults start flying ... and sometimes the fists do too ... case in point, this Mexico City Congress session that went completely off the rails Monday!

You’ve gotta see this video -- the chamber podium turned into a full-on WWE ring as female lawmakers started shoving each other, one delivering a back-of-the-head slap ... and got repaid with a savage hair yank.

That sparked a full chain reaction -- the women in the back jumped in, swinging and shoving, turning the whole chamber into pure chaos ... while one guy stuck in the middle, cracking an awkward smile.

A woman in the Philippines went viral after she showed off some butt-wigglin' moves on a basketball hoop ... before it came crashing down and slammed her to the pavement.

Check out the video -- the woman climbs up to the hoop as a crowd cheers her on. She makes her way onto the rim, where she starts twerkin' for her fans below ... but her fun quickly turns into disaster when the pole breaks and the entire structure comes tumbling down.

The woman goes down with it, landing flat on her back, knocking the wind out of her.
