Eagles fan arrested for punching police horse after being ejected

A 22-year-old man was arrested for punching a police horse and striking an officer following the Philadelphia Eagles' divisional-round win over the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday.

Taylor Hendricks of Whitehall Township, Pa., was ejected from Lincoln Financial Field for being intoxicated and not having a ticket, FOX 29 reports. Police said Hendricks then repeatedly punched a mounted police officer's horse in the face and neck before striking the officer in the legs.

Hendricks is due in court Jan. 30 on charges of aggravated assault, illegally taunting a police horse, simple assault, and defiant trespass. He could also face animal cruelty charges, according to police.
