Onlookers filmed on their phones and cheered the unnamed man as he performed his grotesque stunt.
It was part of the mayhem that gripped Philadelphia on Sunday night as the city descended into chaos.
Passionate supporters lit fires, clambered on top of trucks and up traffic poles after their team defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 in dramatic fashion at US Bank Field in Minneapolis.
At one point a hotel awning at the city’s Ritz-Carlton collapsed under the weight of fans while the windows at the Macy’s near City Hall and a T-Mobile were smashed as celebrations threatened to get out of hand.
Police, some on horseback, were called in as huge crowds descended on the streets.

Fans piled into the streets across the City of Brotherly Love, from Center City to Northeast Philly – marching, jumping and screaming in utter chaos.
And despite police greasing up the poles across the city with hydraulic fluid, fans have still been able to climb them.
Philadelphia police officers stood guard as revelers poured into the streets in unprecedented numbers.
They retweeted a message from Boston police saying: ‘From the men and women of @bostonpolice to our brother and sister officers of @PhillyPolice: “Congratulations to you and your city. Please be safe out there”‘.
In South Philadelphia, fans started chanting ‘Free Bud Light,’ after the beer manufacturer made a bet with Lane Johnson that if the Eagles win the Super Bowl, according to CBS Philly.
The streets of the city were also filled with Eagles fans chanting ‘F**k Tom Brady’ in reference to the Patriots quarterback and ‘Big d**k Nick’ in honor of Philly quarterback Nick Foles.

Philadelphia has never celebrated a Super Bowl crown, so fans were quick to flood the city’s downtown area after the win
Before the games, officers who declined to give their names, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that about 100 poles up and down Broad Street were being greased to deter revelers from climbing them.
They dubbed themselves the ‘Pole Patrol’ rather than the earlier ‘Crisco Cops’ that applied shortening that failed to stop some fans after the NFC championship victory.
However, the measure seems to have fallen short as several Philadelphians were seen climbing the poles following the victory.
‘F**k that grease,’ the fans reportedly chanted as the daredevils climbed.
Many of them were seen chugging beers as they got to the top. At one point the fans got so out of control they pulled down a light pole.
Destruction seemed to follow fans wherever they went. Fans also took to lighting up scraps of metal in the streets on fire.

However, more concerning than the small bonfires were the trust falls that sprung up around the city.
A video made the rounds on social media a man perched atop a Ritz-Carlton hotel awning falling into the crowd from a height, trusting he would be caught.
In another video, fans scaled the same awning of the Ritz-Carlton hotel only to have it collapse under them due to their combined weight.
Mayor Jim Kenney declared in a statement that it was a day the city has ‘dreamed of’.
‘For so many who have called themselves Eagles fans for a generation, this is the day, the game, the season, and the team we’ve dreamed of,’ he said in part.
‘The 2017-18 Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl Champions, and they’ve brought tremendous joy to hundreds of thousands throughout the City and region. They consistently wowed us with their dynamic play and relentless pursuit of victory.
‘Their ‘Next Man Up’ mentality when injuries arose was inspiring to anyone who has ever faced a setback, as was their willingness to embrace the role of underdogs. They looked another storied football franchise in the eyes, and never blinked.’
