A 17-year-old was shot in New York City as residents of the city gathered to celebrate the Knicks’ victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

The BBC noted “the New York Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 94–90 in game five on Saturday to clinch the title for the first time in more than half a century.”

The New York Post reported that crowds filled the streets after the victory and the teenager “was shot in the left foot around 2 a.m. at 42nd Street and Broadway.”

The Daily News pointed out that an NYPD officer transported the teen “to Bellevue Hospital because the rampaging crowds of fans around Times Square prevented ambulance access.”

The NYPD detained three people after the shooting and recovered a gun.

FIFA World Cup celebrations were also occurring in the street.

A bus was set ablaze and other cars and trucks were damaged as crowds gathered, as Breitbart News reported.
