[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] This is the shocking moment NYPD cops smash a youngster's face through the back window of a cab at the Kai Cenat riots in New York City.
Crowds descended on Union Square on Friday after the Twitch streamer told his millions of fans he would give away free PlayStation 5s.
The ensuing riot saw cars destroyed as fights broke out among thousands of people gathered in downtown Manhattan.
In one video from the scene, a cop could be seen grabbing a teenager by the arms and slamming him against the back window of a taxi cab, smashing the glass.
Police then grabbed another man, who struggled as he was surrounded by cops who pinned him to the ground.
The NYPD told DailyMail.com it is 'aware of the video, and it is under internal review,' after Mayor Eric Adams suggested 'outside agitators' could have been to blame.
Cenat, 21, has been charged with inciting a riot and unlawful assembly after he announced a gaming giveaway along with fellow streamer Fanum scheduled for 4pm Friday.
He had promised to give out free PlayStation 5 consoles, computers, accessories and gift cards during the Twitch stream.
In his Twitch broadcast, Cenat told his 20million followers: 'We're making sure to have good like protection and s***. You already know, we're trying to chill and s***.
'All my New York n******, I f****** love you n****** to death,' he said. 'But ya'll n****** are wild. Ya'll n****** are animals, bro. Let's be real, bro. When you n****** get too lit, when there's too much going on, like, n****** start violating s***.
'That s*** might end really quick depending on how rowdy you get and s*** like that.'
He added: 'Now, look - it is a public area. So anything can happen, bro. Anything can happen.
'Make sure you pull up with somebody. Just make sure you pull up with a friend to make sure ya'll are good and s–t like that.
'New York is f***** insane, n—-r. But I need all my New York n****** out there. We're gonna go crazy, bro.'
He added that he picked Union Square because the event 'would get shut down ASAP' if it was held at a more crowded New York landmark such as Times Square.
