Sucker Punch: Lions fan knocked out by Eagles fans
- 10 years ago
A Michigan native who has resided in Philadelphia for two years says he was harassed and knocked unconscious by a half-dozen Eagles fans outside Lincoln Financial Field after Philadelphia's 34-20 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
The 33-year-old Center City business owner, who could not be identified, said six men in Eagles apparel first started by yelling and throwing snowballs and other projectiles at him because he was wearing a Barry Sanders jersey and Lions ball cap.
The man, who lives in Bella Vista with his fiancee, said he was treated for a concussion and minor injuries at the hospital on Monday. He also had to be examined for internal injuries after he began pissing blood on Sunday.
The alleged attack took place around 4:30pm, as the man walked to the SEPTA station at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. As he walked along Pattison near the Xfinity Live complex, the group of Philly fans started shouting and throwing snowballs. As he crossed the street, the men blocked his path toward the trains.
The smallest man then slapped his head from the side, while another man then pushed him from behind, and the group bum-rushed him. The man threw a punch and brought one of the attackers to the ground. The others continued to beat the man until he lost consciousness.
When he came to, another Eagles fan was standing over him and offering help. The man remembered the Good Samaritan was so disgusted he tossed his Eagles jersey in the trash.
Police are now looking for a group of douchebag white men in their 20s wearing Eagles jerseys. Well, that should narrow down the search...yeah right.
