The Eagles fan who ran alongside a train and right into a pole is alive and well.

The video of 42-year-old Eagles season-ticket holder Jigar Desai slamming into a concrete bar went viral on Sunday night, with many wondering if he was seriously injured.


Turns out he's fine.

"Yeah, I hit the pole, but the passion is there," Desai said. "It reflects the passion of the entire city. We are good fans. Yeah, there are a couple of bad apples in the mix — in any city you're going to find that. But I think as a whole we have supported this team for years and years and years. I think this city is ready to bring home the hardware."

Desai even went to work on Monday, though he was a little sore and said he might get checked out at a doctor on Tuesday.

"I'm not throwing bottles or punching horses," Desai said. "It was just running into a pole."
