Philadelphia cops seeking car seen driving on museum steps made famous in ‘Rocky’

PHILADELPHIA — Police are looking for a convertible seen driving down the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps made famous in the movie “Rocky.”

Several people posted online videos showing the car driving down the steps in fits and starts at about midnight Thursday. The car then speeds off.

Hugh Dillon, a photographer who runs the local entertainment website PhillyChitChat, posted one of the videos. He says he lives nearby and happened on the stunt.

Police say they plan to review surveillance video to try to find the driver, who would face citations for numerous offenses, including reckless driving and driving on the sidewalk.

On Tuesday, Utah state troopers used a stun gun and a punch to the face to subdue a man who drove his pickup truck up the steps of the state Capitol building.
