Philadelphia Eagles fans were understandably in a celebrating mood after Sunday’s Divisional Round playoff win over the visiting Los Angeles Rams. Traditionally, such an occasion has resulted in damage to public property in Philadelphia, and that was the case on Sunday near Lincoln Financial Field, where one motorist had a violent run-in with police.
As captured in a video that has since gone viral on social media, a black sedan is seen trying to evade police cruisers on the streets surrounding South Philadelphia’s stadium complex. Police have made one arrest in the case, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. DailyMail.com has reached out to the department for more information.
According to the Inquirer report, the motorist is accused of hitting a traffic officer at around 5:57pm on 1000 Pattinson Ave. The video shows the aftermath of that collision, in which the black sedan attempts to evade officers by quickly reversing. However, the driver did not see the cops’ SUV directly in back and ultimately collided with the cruiser, resulting in damage to both cars.

The driver is then pulled from their vehicle and quickly handcuffed on the snowy street.
The incident comes at an awkward moment for Eagles fans. Last week, Philadelphia supporter Ryan Caldwell was filmed abusing a female Green Bay Packers fan in a video that subsequently went viral. He called her a 'ugly, dumb c***' , he's since lost his job and he's been banned from coming back to Lincoln Financial Field.
