A group of Philadelphia Flyers fans brutally beat a New Jersey cop and his son - dressed in Rangers garb - outside a famous Philly cheesesteak shop Monday.
Three Broad Street bullies clad in Flyers jerseys sucker-punched the Woodbridge, N.J., officer before pummeling him and his son after they fell on the ground outside Geno’s Steaks.
NBCNewYork.com identified the cop on Wednesday night as Neal Auricchio, a former Marine.
"He got banged up pretty badly," his father Neal Auricchio, Sr., told NBCNewYork.com. "Stitches in the one eye, and the other eye is pretty puffed up. He went for a CAT scan today, and we're waiting for the results on that."
Cops may have caught a break Wednesday when one Philly knucklehead, Edward Neary, took to the Facebook page of the Broad Street Hockey blog and confessed.
“It was me and my friends, do something about it,” he bragged in the comments section of a graphic video of the fight, before adding a homophobic slur. “How dumb do I look knocking someone out pretty sure they look dumb eatin concrete,” he wrote.
Neary later backed off of his boast and blamed three pals for the attack.
The assault happened shortly after the NHL’s Winter Classic game, in which the Rangers defeated the Flyers, 3-2.
The cop was hospitalized and received stitches to close his wounds.
No arrests have been made.
If you have any information, you can call Philadelphia cops at 215-686-TIPS (8477).
