PHILADELPHIA — Eagles fans poured into Philly streets to celebrate the team’s Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs, with some fans lighting fires and tearing down traffic poles, CBS 21 Philadelphia reported.
Despite city officials urging fans to celebrate responsibly, large crowds gathered, leading to incidents of property damage and disorder, according to the report. Video from CBS 21 captured fans setting towels and sheets from a box truck on fire at 12th and Market streets, prompting police to push back crowds and extinguish the flames.
