A classic playoff game ended with an ugly scene outside the Georgia Dome, as a fight between a 49ers and Falcons fan ended with one person reportedly stabbed.

According to the Twitter timeline of Atlanta’s WSB-TV, an argument between fans escalated as fans were leaving after the game.

A witness told reporter Rachel Stockman that a Falcons fan punched a 49ers fan, who then pulled a knife on the Falcons fan, cutting them in the neck.

That station has some Zapruder-level cell phone video of what appears to be police and paramedics treating someone, and the victim is being taken to a nearby hospital, but there’s no word on that person’s condition.
