PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — At least four officers were assaulted, and police made at least four arrests and issued at least 31 citations on Sunday night, after the Eagles' NFC championship win brought hundreds of fans out to Broad Street to celebrate. While most of the people took to the streets in the spirit of fellowship and victory, there were some outliers who kept police busy all night.
At 9:31 p.m., a driver, identified as 26-year-old Rebekah DeShields of Narberth, drove a silver 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 through a crowd of fans, injuring eight people, according to police.
At least eight people were injured. Video from the scene shows several people being taken into ambulances on stretchers and wheelchairs. Eight individuals suffered injuries ranging from minor pain to fractures, say police.
Police stopped DeShields a few blocks away and took her into custody. She faces charges including aggravated assault, driving without a license, simple assault, reckless driving and related offenses.
