The Eagles beat the Giants on the field Monday night and now Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority police in Philadelphia are looking for one of the team’s fans after he did the same to a Giants fan in a SEPTA terminal after the game.
SEPTA released a video of the incident, which shows an Eagles fan throw several punches at a Giants fan wearing a red Eli Manning jersey. Anthony Righter, the Giants fan, told FOX 29 in Philly that he wasn’t trying to pick a fight in the station after the game but admits he was drunk and exchanging barbs with Eagles fans after getting off a train after leaving the game.
SEPTA police want to talk to everyone captured on the video, which was taken from surveillance cameras inside the station.
“I think there might be some culpability on the part of the Giants fan, but, again, we’d like to know the whole story,” SEPTA police chief Tom Nestel said.
The full story probably won’t differ too much from the one Righter told the television station, which makes it a pretty good reminder that one of the best ways to avoid getting punched in the face is to avoid drunken trash talk with others who have likely been drinking.
