Fan Watch: A police show of force on Broad Street
By 1:30, police began to move on Broad and Sansom-Walnut, the most troublesome site. The officers came from three directions, from South Philly, where dozens of officers had assembled at Broad and Washington and moved north; and from both sides of Broad Street.
Police had almost cleared Broad Street south of City Hall. About a dozen mounted police, accompanied by officers on bicycles and motorcycles, cleared the street and forcied people onto the sidewalk and down the side streets.
