It's no surprise that football games can get pretty rowdy amongst fans but, a recent video
that surfaced online showed a fight that escalated to a whole other level.
Because of it, the NFL is investigating saying that they take the incident very seriously.
The fight broke out between two fans at Thursday night's Panthers vs. Eagles game.
A panthers fan in a Cam Newton jersery can be seen sucker punching a 62 year old man
in the face who was sitting behind him.
He throws several more punches before he and a woman, who's believed to be his girlfriend,
flee the stands... just as a warning the following video is very graphic.
You don't see what leads up to the punches being thrown, but according to the person
who posted the video on Instagram, it started when the man repeatedly asked the fan in the
Newton jersey to sit down after he spent the majority of the game standing.
There was a child present for the first half of the game, but when the child and his parent
left things got tense between the two fans and ultimately led to the violence.
The instagram user captioned the video with more details saying,
"the victim telling the dude bro how they're being jerks and how rude they are for not
sitting.
the dude bro turns around and calls the victim a "geriatric fuck", "faggot", and "hick".
then sucker punches him right in the face.
i don't know if he got away or left in handcuffs, but i hope it's the latter."
The IG user then shared the exact seats the assailant was sitting in.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport the NFL is aware of the situation.
".@NFL says it's in contact with #Panthers security regarding that punch shown by @CrossingBroad."
"We take all of these [incidents] very seriously"
According to the Washington Post the man, has not been publicly identified by police.
However he evaded authorities at the time of the altercation and was able to leave the
stadium on Thursday.
It's not clear is the assailant has been arrested or charged.
