A Pennsylvania man was ejected from Saturday's Philadelphia Eagles game after he assaulted a police horse when leaving the stadium.
Taylor Hendricks, 22, was removed from Lincoln Financial Field before the start of the Eagles' NFL playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons by stadium personnel who said he arrived intoxicated and was unable to produce a ticket.
"After the male was ejected he walked over to a mounted officer and began punching their horse in the face." the Philadelphia Police Department said in a statement to CBS News. The department said the officer who was riding the horse was also struck in the legs during the incident.
Hendricks was charged with assault of law enforcement officer, cruelty to animals and aggravated assault, police said.
Court records indicate Hendricks was released after posting 10 percent of a $5,000 bail. A plea has not been entered in the case and he is next scheduled to appear on Jan. 30.
