SEPTA seeks two men who got into altercation following Eagles-Giants Monday Night Football game on October 19, 2015.
SEPTA authorities are seeking the two men involved in an altercation at the 69th Street Terminal Monday night after the Eagles defeated the New York Giants 27-7 in a primetime showdown Monday night.
After the game, some jawing between an Eagles fan and a Giants fan escalated and the Giants fan, wearing a red Eli Manning jersey, took a couple of punches to the face before falling to the ground. SEPTA released a video of the incident on Wednesday.

According to NBC 10, SEPTA Police Chief Thomas Nestel confirmed that officials with the agency are now searching for the men involved.
"There was a lot going on there for four minutes. There are two sides to every story and it would be a smart move on the person who punched to come in and tell his side before we get the victim and hear his side."
Police have requested that both men, as well as any witnesses, reach out to SEPTA to assist in an investigation.
Nestel said the agency believes the two men got on the Broad Street Line at AT&T Station after leaving Lincoln Financial Field Monday night. He believes words were exchanged between them during a subway ride to City Hall that continued with transfer to the Market-Frankford line before they got off at 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby.
The Giants fan, accompanied by his girlfriend, does not appear to have been seriously injured.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 215-580-8111.
