Scenes of chaos erupted in Philadelphia Sunday night following the Eagles’ Super Bowl win with fans in team colors seen setting fires, smashing light poles and chanting, "F--- the Chiefs!"
Footage captured by FreedomNewsTV purportedly showed a crowd looting a laundry truck and tossing towels into the air. Police then were seen responding to a fire as a pile of the laundry was set ablaze.
In another clip, two individuals could be seen toppling a light pole. Once it hit the ground, a crowd rushed around it and started smashing it with their feet. Then members of the crowd picked the pole up and started carrying it through the city’s downtown area.
Videos also showed fans climbing on top of light poles, street signs, bus stops, trucks and trees. In one scene, fans re-enacted the Eagles’ signature "tush push" play.
