A Flyers fan at Tuesday's game was escorted out of the Wells Fargo Center after he punched two fans wearing Toronto Maple Leafs gear in confrontation that was caught on video, arena officials said.
The clip went viral after the game, and Philadelphia police said they are investigating the altercation. No one filed a police report about the assault, a police spokesperson said, but the video is being reviewed.

"The department is looking into the incident," the spokesperson said.
The video, posted to social media by Barstool Sports, shows two men in Maple Leafs jerseys and a woman wearing a Maple Leafs sweatshirt standing in the front row of the arena after the Flyers lost 3-2 to – their second defeat in back-to-back games against Toronto.
One of the Leafs fans wearing a jersey, standing with his standing with his back to the glass, appears to celebrate his team's win by waving his hands at rows of fans behind him.
As he does, the videos show a man wearing an Eagles hat, glasses, and black T-shirt climbing over at least two rows of seats towards the men in the jerseys. He begins throwing punches at the Maple Leafs fans – about six punches – landing at least a couple blows. The Toronto fans did not fight back.
Then man in the Eagles hat then leaves, again climbing over rows of seats, as the spectators around the incident react.
The people involved were escorted out of the arena by police, a Wells Fargo Center spokesperson said Thursday, without specifying who was directed out of the building.
"We do not condone or tolerate violence or disrespectful behavior of any kind and will continue to promote a safe and inclusive environment at all games and events," the spokesperson said.
Wells Fargo Center officials said they are not aware of anyone seeking to press charges.
The altercation has been covered widely with the Toronto Sun describing the assailant as "channeling some Broad Street Bullies' energy" and the New York Post using the altercation to revisit Philly's "history of wild and destructive scenes in the aftermath of high-stakes games."
