Police hunt for Flyers fans behind attack

Share

When are people going to learn its generally not a good idea to commit a crime and then post about it on Facebook (if theyre hoping not to get caught, that is)?

Youve probably already heard about the Flyers fans that attacked a Rangers fan outside Genos Steaks after the Winter Classic. A video showing the gruesome fight was posted on YouTube.

Now, a man named Edward Neary has boasted on Facebook that he and his friends were responsible for beating up the Rangers fan (who, by the way, was awarded a Purple Heart fighting in Iraq).

Neary wrote on Facebook: "it was me and my friends do something about it." He later blamed the incident on his friends, identifying three of them by name, and claimed Ranger fans started the fight.

The post has since been deleted, but police are reportedly on the hunt for Neary and his company nonetheless.
