2 turn themselves in after viral video of flipped car, Super Bowl block party

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Two people have turned themselves in to police after they were allegedly part of a group that flipped over a car and damaged other vehicles during a block party that turned rowdy near Temple University before Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

Authorities said 21-year-old Nicholas Faraglia of Clifton Heights and 23-year-old Edward Pearce, of Aldan, turned themselves in on Wednesday.

Although neighbors say the majority of people at the party were students, police have not said whether Faraglia and Pearce are. Temple says anyone involved in the incident could face disciplinary action from the school.

The two turned themselves in a few days after police released photos and said they were seeking nine people wanted in connection to the flipped car.

It happened on the 1700 block of Arlington Street, around 4:20 p.m. Sunday.

The two men are facing charges of criminal mischief, rioting and recklessly endangering another person.    

In addition to the flipped car, several other vehicles were damaged during the block party.

Seventy-year-old Richard Pierce, whose car was not flipped but damaged, told CBS News Philadelphia on Monday that he filed a police report with the Philadelphia Police Department and Temple University police.

Pierce said, "I happened to look out my window and I saw this girl standing on my hood, jumping up and down on my hood. They tore off my door handles," Pierce said. "They tore off my mirrors. They bashed in my windshield."

There's no word on the seven other suspects wanted in connection with flipping a car.
