There were 10 arrests and 29 summons for disorderly conduct issued by Philadelphia Police during the raucous celebration of the Eagles’ Super Bowl win Sunday night, police said.
Six people were arrested for six assaults on police officers, said department spokesperson Sgt. Eric Gripp. There were four other arrests: one for reckless endangerment, two for aggravated assault, and one for misdemeanor disorderly conduct, he said.
There were also eight reports of vandalism, said Gripp.
Despite calls from Mayor Cherelle L. Parker to not climb poles or anything else and to celebrate safely, some of the massive crowds of people that took to the streets after the Eagles won their second Super Bowl, caused mayhem.
Multiple people climbed light poles along Broad Street. Crowds tried to flip a police vehicle at Broad and Chestnut Streets. More than a dozen people danced on top of a medic vehicle. A group of people took towels out from a truck at 12th and Market Streets and started setting them on fire.
