Police looking for group filmed flipping over car near Temple's campus on Super Bowl Sunday

The Philadelphia Police Department shared images of nine people who they believe helped overturn someone's vehicle on the 1700 block of Arlington Street Sunday afternoon.

Police are searching for several people who were filmed flipping over a vehicle when a rowdy crowd of Eagles fans gathered on a North Philadelphia street hours before the Super Bowl kicked off.

The Philadelphia Police Department shared images of nine people who they believe helped overturn someone's vehicle on the 1700 block of Arlington Street Sunday afternoon. 

"People started getting on top of the car to make space and make a scene. One thing led to the next and someone was doing backflips on the hood, cracked the windshield. Not too long after, two people tried to flip it and then two became ten, and then boom." Ramesses Moore-McGuinness told Storyful. 

SUPER BOWL LVII

The video was filmed near Temple University's campus and quickly spread on social media. The Eagles went on to lose Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs, 38-35.

FOX 29's Kelly Rule spoke to the owner of the vehicle, Cole Harper, who said he was in Philadelphia to watch the Super Bowl with his friends who live on the block. They went to a Center City bar and by the time they returned to Arlington Street, the block party was out of control and Harper went inside. 

"I looked out the window, I just saw my car upside down it was in shambles, I could not believe it happened," Harper said. "I was trying to look at it in a positive light before the game, just in some sort of messed up sacrifice, maybe the Eagles could win because I gave up my car for it. Unfortunately, nothing was really going my way that day."

Richard Pierce, a 70-year-old Temple alum and longtime homeowner on the block, said his car has a shattered windshield and both mirrors were knocked off. 

"I told them we used to party all the time, I lived in the dorms and all, but we never damaged anyone’s property," Pierce said. "If I could’ve gotten out of my door, this would be a whole different interview."

Students that live on the block came together to start a GoFundMe page to help Pierce pay for his car repairs. Meanwhile, Harper, who is also a Temple grad, said he's working with insurance and he wants those who are financially able to help Pierce. 

"I'm just hoping everyone involved in the investigation is putting forward the same level of effort I am just trying to bring this matter to justice," Harper said.
