Dylan O’Brien tweets for first time since “Maze Runner” accident

Dylan O’Brien is back on Twitter!

The “Maze Runner” star gave a shout-out to the New York Mets in his first tweet since being injured on set nearly seven months ago.

“LGM,” tweeted the New York native during a wild card game between the Mets and the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.

Despite his hometown team losing to the Giants, O’Brien’s “Let’s Go Mets” tweet snagged 22,000 retweets, and sent his Twitter followers into a frenzy.

“OMG You’re back. I’m officially dying” an excited fan tweeted, as another joked, “Dylan O’Brien broke the internet.”

Fans continued celebrating the Twitter return with more kind tweets and funny memes.

O’Brien, 24, suffered multiple broken bones after being run over by a car while filming “Maze Runner: The Death Cure” in Vancouver, Canada in March.
