Boston ? New England Patriots fans turned rowdy after their team’s Super Bowl victory, flipping cars and lighting small fires as thousands swarmed the streets. One person was killed when an allegedly drunken driver backed his sport utility vehicle into a group of revelers.

James Grabowski, 21, died when the SUV plowed into revelers near Northeastern University, the Suffolk District Attorney’s office said. Three others were injured, one critically.

The driver, Stanley Filoma, 24, sped off, but was arrested a short distance away.

Six cars also were overturned in the area, and several others were damaged. Acting Police Commissioner James Hussey said three arrests were made for the “outrageous behavior,” and police hoped to make more.

One of those injured was a Boston police officer whose injuries were not life threatening, police said.

In Kenmore Square, near Boston University, college-aged fans thronged the streets around garbage fires. A local TV station reported that one of its vans was vandalized, and the crew had be escorted from the area by police.

In the city’s Allston neighborhood, home to many college students and nightclubs, firefighters hosed down revelers in hopes of dispersing the crowd.

At the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, police in riot gear cleared hundreds of fans after they set a fire and refused to disperse. There were no reports of trouble at the University of Rhode Island and the University of New Hampshire, where violence broke out after Red Sox playoff games last fall.
