Chaos broke out at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday night when an Eagles fan was taken into police custody after a heated altercation with a New York Giants supporter moments after Philadelphia’s 34-17 defeat.
Video footage captured the tense scene as officers restrained the Eagles fan near the tunnel area. The man, wearing a No. 26 Eagles jersey, was seen being escorted away in handcuffs while NBC Sports Philadelphia reporters were broadcasting postgame coverage nearby.
According to police, the confrontation began when the Eagles fan and a Giants supporter exchanged words following the final whistle. Witnesses told authorities that the Eagles fan punched the Giants fan twice in the face before several bystanders intervened to separate the two. Officers stationed near the lower concourse quickly responded and detained the aggressor on the spot.
No serious injuries were reported, though both fans were escorted out of the stadium as the investigation continues.
