Police arrest 10 for assaults on officers and other offenses during raucous Eagles Super Bowl celebrations

Philadelphia police made 10 arrests, including six for assaults on officers, during the raucous celebration of the Eagles’ Super Bowl win Sunday night, authorities said.

Six people were arrested for assaults on police, said department spokesperson Sgt. Eric Gripp. And police made four other arrests: one for reckless endangerment, two for aggravated assault, and one for disorderly conduct, he said.

There were also eight reports of vandalism, said Gripp.

Despite calls from Mayor Cherelle L. Parker that revelers avoid the customary — and dangerous — tradition of climbing poles, multiple people climbed light poles along Broad Street.

As massive throngs of people took to the streets after the Eagles won their second Super Bowl, some in the crowd attempted to flip a police vehicle at Broad and Chestnut Streets. More than a dozen people danced on top of a medic vehicle. And a group of people took towels out from a moving truck at 12th and Market Streets and started setting them on fire, police said.
