New York City PlayStation giveaway devolves into street chaos as police officers dodge flying projectiles

[FoxNews] NYC police say a level four mobilization has been issued

Violence erupted in New York City's Union Square on Friday afternoon when at least 1,000 kids and teenagers swarmed the area for a PlayStation giveaway and police officers were injured and had bottles, rocks and fireworks thrown at them.

A spokesperson for the New York City Police Department told Fox News Digital that at least 1,000 kids gathered in the area of Union Square Park for a PlayStation giveaway organized by a social media influencer.

Twitch streamer Kai Cenat tweeted around 2:00 p.m. Friday that there would be a giveaway at 3:30 p.m. at Union Square Park.

Video from the incident shows several people throwing bottles at police officers. New York Police Chief Department Jeffrey Maddrey said during a press conference that multiple arrests were made, stating that police and members of the public sustained injuries. He said the gathering was declared unlawful.

Police said that Cenat is being charged with inciting a riot, unlawful assembly, and a few other charges, but didn't elaborate.

#2 It's always worth remembering there is an entire cohort out there that believes everything they hear except that they are ugly and stupid.

I'm probably getting an unhealthy level of amusement from their travails.

#3 re #2,

Don't worry MM a daily dose of good single malt will ward off any unhealthy effects. Oh, yeah, the amusement is fine too.

#5 Feral morons. Look at the ethnic group of the people "rioting" in the video and they match up with all the other flash mobs, shoplifters and troublemakers.
