Philadelphia Eagles fan on life support after horror fall during NFL celebrations

Philadelphia is always a dangerous place to be after the Eagles win a big game - but it’s potentially turned deadly after a tragic accident.

An 18-year-old man is on life support after falling from a light pole in Philadelphia as Eagles fans celebrated the team’s NFC Championship win over the Commanders in the streets, according to an ABC 6 report.

He suffered brain trauma from the fall at 15th and Market streets and was transported to Jefferson Hospital, the report said.

The teenager was among several fans who climbed light poles after Philly Mayor Cherelle Parker warned people not to do so.

The fall was one of several tragic moments from Sunday’s celebrations - as Aussie Jordan Mailata’s team earned a spot in another Super Bowl.

At least two people were shot, one person was stabbed and multiple cops were assaulted in separate incidents, Philadelphia police said, resulting in four arrests and 31 citations.

A 20-year-old man was shot and taken to a hospital in stable condition, and a 39-year-old man suffered graze wounds to his chest and stomach, per ABC 6.

Eugene Dennis, 44, and Jose Moya, 32, were arrested in separate alleged assaults on cops, police said.

A 25-year-old man was stabbed near Lincoln Financial Field after the game and is in stable condition.

Tramayne Davis-Blockson, 34, was arrested in connection to the stabbing.

Rebekah DeShields, 26, was arrested after crashing her car into a crowd of people and injuring eight at around 9.30pm.

Police said they did not believe DeShields collided with the crowd intentionally. One fan also fired gunshots into the air while in the middle of a large crowd of Eagles fans at the intersection of Cottman and Frankford Avenues.
