Chaos Erupts at Knicks Watch Party: 21 Arrested, 5 Officers Injured in Shocking Turn of Events
While the party was largely calm, some fans blocked traffic and refused to disperse, and others threw glass objects or brawled in the street, according to police and video of the altercations.
In total, eight people were arrested — two for assaulting a police officer — and 13 others were issued criminal court summons. Police said that five officers were injured. The New York Police Department did not immediately provide information about the nature of their injuries or details on the people arrested.
In a statement, the department said that “the crowd became increasingly rowdy, violent, and destructive, and there were many incidents of disorderly and dangerous behavior.”
Members of the crowd “engaged in incredibly reckless behavior — there were large physical and violent fights that resulted in multiple injuries,” the statement continued.
