MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Minneapolis police are reviewing video footage of a raucous celebration by University of Minnesota hockey fans that resulted in several arrests and a couple of police officers hurt.
Police also are asking the public for any video that might help investigators.
Hundreds of students and other hockey fans took to the streets in Dinkytown near campus to celebrate the Gophers’ last-second Frozen Four semifinal win over North Dakota Thursday night.
Authorities say some fans threw beer bottles and cans at officers, others climbed light poles and one video showed several young men jumping on top of a squad car.
The Star Tribune reports university President Eric Kaler warns students that a substantial law enforcement presence will be in place to prevent a repeat when the team plays Saturday for the national championship.
