Online videos capture Jacksonville police officers getting physical with fans after the Georgia-Florida college football game on Saturday.

"We had reports of unruly behavior and people refusing to leave after the final whistle," said Melissa Bujeda, spokesperson for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, according to CNN. "Some fans became combative when ordered to leave the area."

Multiple videos depict chaos in the streets near TIAA Bank Field. One video shows a cop pushing a fan to the ground. Another clip records a cop throwing punches at a fan who was already being held back by other officers.

The University of Georgia athletic department said they were "deeply troubled" by the videos and urged Bulldogs fans to comply with law enforcement.

While the Sheriff's Office didn't explain what sparked the conflicts, those arrested face charges like disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assaulting an officer. An internal affairs investigation is underway.
