Fans smashed the car's windows and spray painted it. They also damaged other cars and left the area covered in trash. Neighbors said they are frustrated, calling the crowd out of control.

The incident occurred on the 1700 block of Arlington Street at approximately 4:17 p.m. Philadelphia and Temple police arrived on the scene to disperse the crowd and remained in the area throughout the evening. Police said they did not receive additional reports of disorderly behavior.
