Things turned ugly in Philadelphia on Tuesday night when a melee broke out in Section 209 during Game 6 of the Rangers-Flyers playoff matchup.
The fight occurred in the waning minutes of the contest in which the Rangers were soundly defeated 5-2 inside the Wells Fargo Center. A video from a fan in the section was quickly uploaded to YouTube which show Rangers and Flyers fans both slugging it out.
Here's a couple of video angles from the nose bleeds:
According to Chris Friess, the fight escalated after Rangers fans “refused to leave after the ushers told them to go for their safety.”
You can hear a woman's voice in the video pleading with the combatants to "Chill."
The venue's VP of security said the facility could not comment on particulars about the skirmish, though a pair of security guards were overhead talking about amount of blood on an “idiot Flyers fan’s face.”
Police said no arrests were made related to the fight.
Game 7 is Wednesday night, back in the friendly confines of Madison Square Garden.
