The Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Parade brought excitement and energy to the streets of Philadelphia as fans celebrated the team’s victory. However, the celebrations took an unfortunate turn for General Manager Howie Roseman.
As the Eagles made their way down the parade route on Friday, Roseman was struck in the head by a beer can. Images circulating on social media showed him with a bloody mark on his forehead.
Despite the incident, the parade continued as thousands of Eagles fans cheered on their championship team. Authorities have not yet released details about the individual responsible for throwing the can.
Governor Josh Shapiro mentioned the incident during his speech at the parade.
“It was a [expletive] of a parade today,” said Gov. Shapiro. “Everything was perfect except for some of y’all who didn’t know how to toss a beer nicely. You fired it too hard. Just ask Howie Roseman.”
Authorities reported that two people were injured in a stabbing incident Sunday evening in the 1000 block of Decatur Street in the French Quarter following the Super Bowl.
Initial investigations indicate that both the suspect and the victim sustained injuries during the altercation. Both individuals were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Police have not yet released further details regarding the cause of the incident or the condition of those involved. The investigation remains ongoing.
Last week, law enforcement agencies in New Orleans announced they had ramped up their efforts to secure the city during the NFL’s biggest event.
More than 2,000 federal agents were reportedly working alongside the New Orleans Police Department, with 350 National Guard troops stationed throughout the area. Officers from surrounding parishes also assisted in maintaining order and protecting both residents and visitors.
