Chaos Erupts at Knicks Watch Party: 21 Arrested, 5 Officers Injured in Shocking Turn of Events

NEW YORK (AP) — An NBA finals viewing party in Manhattan on Monday turned “incredibly reckless,” New York City police claimed, as some dejected Knicks fans scaled light poles, pelted officers with objects and ripped signs out of the street following the team’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

The rowdy scenes came a few blocks from Madison Square Garden, where elated fans have typically gathered during the team’s historic playoff run. But the area outside the arena was largely off-limits to the public on Monday as a result of President Donald Trump’s attendance at the game.

Instead, roughly 7,000 people gathered at nearby Bryant Park for a city-hosted watch party.
