PHILADELPHIA (PIX11)— They were just trying to get a cheesesteak in Philly, but what some New York Ranger fans got instead was a beatdown by Philadelphia Flyers fans. Now, though, two police departments are investigating the case, in part because the most badly injured victim is himself in law enforcement.

The scene on the sidewalk and in the street outside Geno's Cheesesteaks, a Philadelphia institution, on Monday night after the Winter Classic Hockey Game, is what's usually seen on the ice: guys in hockey jerseys pummeling one another mercilessly. Instead, it was at least three Philadelphia Flyers fans taking out their anger on three Rangers fans after the Flyers' 3-2 loss.

Somebody captured the attack on camera and submitted the video to police, and now the fate the brawlers face is far worse than a penalty box.





"I was stunned, absolutely stunned," Robert Hubner said about watching the video, which has gone viral. "Nobody deserves to be treated like that." He should know. He's the director of the Woodbridge, New Jersey police department, and is the boss of the Rangers fan who sustained the worst injuries, Neal Auricchio.

Not only is Auricchio a 4-year veteran of the Woodbridge Police Department, he trains other officers in field tactics and is a Marine Corps veteran, who was awarded the Purple Heart for injuries he sustained during two tours in Iraq.

At his home in Colonia, a police patrol has been posted to keep reporters away from Officer Auricchio who, Director Hubner said, does not wish to make any public comments. Hubner added that Aurecchio had to get stitches around one of his eyes and the other is swelled shut.

Aurecchio's son, who was also beaten up, is hurt but okay, and so is another friend who was with them outside of Geno's Monday night.

There is currently nobody under arrest for the crime, but Flyers fan Edward Neary posted on a hockey fan site, "It was me and my friends, do something about it... How dumb do I look knocking someone out pretty sure they look dumb eatin concrete.

Neary is now being interviewed by Philadelphia police, even though he later posted, "I was 100% joking everyone. never even left ne philadelphia."

Whether or not that's true, investigators will figure out. They know , based on witness information, that the perpetrators paid a squeegee man who was on the scene to spray window cleaner on the men who boldly wore Rangers jerseys in the middle of a large, loyal Philadelphia crowd.

"You should be able to be a fan wherever you are," Director Hubner said, adding this advice for the men who carried out the attack: "At this point, they should turn themselves in, because the police are going to get them anyway."

Philadelphia gets the most shit out of any fan base. EVERY SINGLE CITY has incidents just like this. The fact that people use this garbage to say one fanbase is better than another is stupid. Drunk idiots wearing Flyers jerseys beat up idiots wearing Rangers jerseys. Welcome to the world of sports violence. This is not a Philadelphia thing, it is a product of aggressive sports and drinking.

Edit: It seems this thread is just a place for fans of other teams to pile on to Philadelphia. even though I could probably find cases of fisticuffs in all of these "Philly-haters" home towns.

Philadelphia: where even the nice-guy WRs who are classy and humble and beloved are murderers.
 
Why do Philly fans have such violent tendencies? It doesn't seems to matter what sport they're a fan of. A strong assholish streak runs through the entire sports community of that city.
 
Philly fans are the fucking worst. Fucking shit town.

I understand we're you're coming from bro, but sometimes a stereotype is supported by truth. I've worked for NFL players who say no doubt about it, Philly is the craphole of sports. It's such a hateful mentality, where you can't even visit and cheer your team on for fear of getting beat. I mean Philly is the place were Santa Claus has been booed. Santa Claus brah.

you'll find fisti-cuffs everywhere, but you must agree that this particualr instance the idiots where one sided. they started and then had this choice quote :

Yeah, it is foolish to single hockey out as the reasoning. They are full of pacifists.

Sorry, bish!

But, yeah. Philly just has a strange violent history. Not trying to single them out as every fanbase has their poor moments.
 
I don't understand.

Doesn't this shit happen all of the time? Are they really going to devote 2 departments to finding the dbags when they have more murders than any other city in the US?

An offduty cop got knocked the fuck out. Move on.
 
sanjuro can post this but no fucking bears?

also, nhl-gaf beware, this is outside ground. opiate could be monitoring

and not to sound like a total asshat, but that little rangers fan looked like he walked up to someone and started throwing blows from behind first. not to say he deserved it or anything

This is America! A cop gets knocked out were bringing axes, pitchforks, knives, guns and all four ninja turtles.

Lousy mindset. They are going to be made an example of. I love traveling to road games and interacting with the fans. A large portion of teams are counting on visitors to enhance ticket/concession sales. Seeing crap like this just makes it harder to justify heading anywhere else.

What is this no bears thing?
 
Phili sports fans are the worst. There are so many horror stories I have heard from people who have visited that parking lot had horrible times.

It's the culture of Philadelphia sports.
 
It just so happens that Philadelphia has a seemingly more frequent occurrence of violent outbursts involving sports, people love to hate on that city. Not saying they're the only ones that get it, but I know they're the tallest column on that graph.

In the US that is. You guys ever watch the Soccers? Now there's a dangerous fanbase.
