A New Jersey Devils fan fatally stabbed a man in Philadelphia after an argument regarding a hat, according to a police report.

According to Kristen De Groot of the Associated Press, Steven Simminger is in custody after an argument about the Devils hat he was wearing got physical around 3 a.m. Sunday.

Simminger, 40, allegedly stabbed 24-year-old Colin McGovern in the torso, and McGovern died as a result of his injuries. McGovern had been in Philadelphia with three friends when they came across Simminger. The pair allegedly got into a fight after McGovern made a comment about the cap.

"This was over a hockey cap," Homicide Capt. James Clark said.

Simminger was treated at a Veterans Affairs hospital for minor injuries. He also underwent a mental screening before being arrested by police at the facility. He is currently being held on murder charges.

No additional details on the case have been made available at this time.
