The incident occurred just steps away from Lincoln Financial Field ... as the Eagles were wrapping up punching their ticket to the NFC Championship Game with a 28-22 victory over Los Angeles.
In footage filmed by a bystander, you can see a person in a dark-colored sedan throw their car into reverse ... and ram it into the front of a police vehicle.
Seconds later, officers could be seen surrounding the person ... before throwing them in handcuffs.
Philadelphia police told The Inquirer one person was arrested during the run-in... and one officer was injured. Further details, however, were not made immediately available.
Despite the chaotic scene ... Philadelphians in the area were still able to celebrate -- as the Eagles will now return to the Linc next Sunday for a tilt with the Commanders with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
