NEW YORK -- The Philadelphia police department has released surveillance video of a brutal attack following Monday's Winter Classic game in an effort to identify the three suspects involved in the beating of two men wearing New York Rangers jerseys outside a South Philadelphia cheesesteak shack.

The graphic video shows three suspects wearing Philadelphia Flyers jerseys beating and kicking the two victims outside Geno's Steaks in South Philly at 7:15 p.m. ET.

One of the victims was an off-duty Woodbridge, N.J., police officer, according to Woodbridge Township spokesman John Hagerty. Hagerty confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com that the police officer, who is currently on medical leave until cleared to return to active duty, has been released from the hospital.

"He's in fine condition," Hagerty told ESPNNewYork.com. "He's resting and doing well."

Hagerty said the "investigation by the Philadelphia Police Department is ongoing," and that the Woodbridge Police Department has offered its assistance in the matter.

A Flyers-geared hockey website also has provided some help in identifying at least one of the suspects.

According to the website, Broad Street Hockey, one of the suspects identified himself on the site's Facebook fan page and admitted he took part in the attack, but then backtracked.

A source told ESPNNewYork.com that he later denied his involvement to police but will be interviewed Thursday.

Police are seeking assistance in identifying the three men and are asking anyone with information to call the Philadelphia Police South Detective Division.
