The Super Bowl ended in heartbreak for Philadelphia Eagles fans last night, meaning that there were few of the sort of celebratory madness (i.e. climbing light poles) that city officials feared might occur.

Still, that’s not to say that incidents didn’t arise during the day, as 6ABC noted.

Before the game started, the news outlet reported, at around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, a group of people dressed in Eagles gear flipped a car over along the 1700 block of Arlington Street in North Philadelphia.

A video then shows several people then jumping on top of the overturned vehicle.

There were no reports of any arrests following this incident, 6ABC said.

While most Philadelphia fans were subdued after the Eagles loss, the news site said there were some fans that tried to shimmy up poles, and that one person threw a section of a fence, though it did not hit anyone.

Some people were arrested as police dispersed people around City Hall, but 6ABC did not have any word on how many people were taken into custody.
