UPDATE: Helicopter called in after Penn State tailgate crowd assaulted police horses, injured trooper: police

Saturday's Whiteout game began as a blowout for some Nittany Lions fans.

A state police helicopter flew low over a tailgate party prior Penn State's matchup with Ohio State at State College.

Some fans reported the helicopter was brought in to break up a rowdy crowd.

Multiple videos recorded at the party show the chopper hovering low enough to blow around tents and debris. Fans in white jerseys can be seen scattering and falling over during the pre-game flyover.

While a host of social media comments bash the police tactic, reports indicate this was done to break up a large and rowdy party.

This should blow over well.
