A massive celebration in New York City turned violent after the Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years. The festivities at Times Square escalated when gunfire was heard near 42nd Street and Broadway, causing panic among thousands of fans. A 17-year-old boy was shot and taken to the hospital in a police vehicle after ambulances failed to reach the crowded scene. Several others were injured, including four people who were stabbed, and property damage occurred across multiple locations.
Police reported that at least 10 officers were injured during the unrest, with one struck in the face and another hit by a glass bottle. Videos circulating online showed officers seizing loaded firearms and arresting individuals involved in the chaos. Rioters attacked police vehicles with baseball bats, set fire to school buses and police cars, and climbed traffic lights while setting off fireworks. Authorities confirmed 63 arrests on charges including assaulting officers and illegal possession of weapons.
Officials announced heightened security for a victory parade planned for Thursday following the Knicks’ historic championship win.
