Philadelphia Eagles fans were understandably in a celebratory mood after Sunday's Divisional Round victory over the visiting Los Angeles Rams.
Such an occasion has traditionally resulted in damage to public property in Philadelphia, and that was the case Sunday near Lincoln Financial Field, where a motorist got into a violent confrontation with police.
As captured in a video that has since gone viral on social media, a black sedan is seen trying to evade police cruisers on the streets surrounding the South Philadelphia stadium complex.
Police have made an arrest in the case, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. DailyMail.com has contacted the department for more information.
According to the Inquirer report, the motorist is accused of hitting a traffic officer around 5:57 p.m. at 1000 Pattinson Ave.
The video shows the consequences of that collision, in which the black sedan tries to evade the agents by reversing quickly. However, the driver did not see the police van directly behind and eventually collided with the patrol car, causing damage to both cars.

The driver is then pulled from his vehicle and quickly handcuffed on the snowy street.
The incident comes at an awkward time for Eagles fans.
Last week, Philadelphia fan Ryan Caldwell was filmed abusing a Green Bay Packers fan in a video that subsequently went viral. He called her an 'ugly, dumb whore,' and has since lost her job and been banned from returning to Lincoln Financial Field.
It was the latest controversy involving Eagles fans and cemented the notion, at least in the eyes of their rivals, that these fans are aggressive, nasty and even violent.
Rams rookie running back Jared Verse appeared to accept the fan abuse he received in Philadelphia before Sunday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Eagles.
Just days after admitting that he hates Eagles fans, the 24-year-old Florida State product took a pregame stroll at Lincoln Financial Field, where locals were waiting for him.
The Pro Bowl selection and teammate Byron Young were booed as they walked through the end zone before kickoff. They were seen placing their hands behind their ears to encourage the vitriol, and Young added a few repetitions of “thank you” to boot.
At one point, Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter said something to Verse, who quickly responded: “I'll take that 77 for the next round.” I'll keep it in my pocket.
Verse appeared to refer to the $77,000 bonus NFL players receive for reaching the conference championship, something the Rams were unable to do on Sunday.
