The NYPD on Sunday morning said it was still tallying the damage and arrests that devolved from the celebrations of the Knicks’ championship that turned ugly Saturday night.
An NYPD spokeswoman said the department was “still gathering information” on the numerous incidents of violence and vandalism that took place overnight that ranged from gunshots in Times Square, vandalized buses and revelers mounting vehicles in Manhattan, creating traffic gridlock.
The vast majority of the celebrations across the region were boisterous but peaceful.
The spokeswoman said an update from the NYPD was forthcoming later Sunday but offered no timeframe.
