Authorities have arrested and charged a man allegedly involved in overturning a car during the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl celebrations.
After the Eagles 41-33 Super Bowl win as underdogs over the New England Patriots, crowds of fans converged on the 1400 block of Walnut Street in Center City, Philadelphia.
The man, identified by police as 20-year-old John Rigsby, a Malvern resident, was charged with vandalism and related charges.
The SUV ended up dented and scratched due to the incident. It was all caught on camera and posted to social media where it garnered millions of views.
“As a part of the Eagles winning the Super Bowl, [super] fans decided to memorialize the experience at the expense of others. And by others, I mean my dear friend, Katie,” the page stated. “Her car was flipped during the celebration and while insurance covers certain things, she is now left with all of the expenses, deductibles, days off from work, etc.”
Captain Sekou Kinebrew from the Philadelphia police department said he expects many more arrests to be made in the following days.
