Devils fan reportedly stabs Flyers fan to death in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square

Hockey was apparently the motive as a Devils fan stabbed a Flyers fan to death early Sunday morning across the street from Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia.

A New Jersey Devils fan stabbed a Philadelphia Flyers fan to death across the street from Rittenhouse Square at around 3 a.m. Sunday morning, and hockey may have been the motive, according to a report.

Action News says that a 25-year-old from Bucks County was out celebrating St. Patrick's Day with friends when a man -- described as a 5'8 African American man with a medium build -- in a blue Devils hat approached the victim, seemingly randomly.
