The NYPD made dozens of arrests overnight after the New York Knicks clinched their first NBA Finals win in 53 years early Sunday.
At least 63 people were arrested, and there were four stabbings and a shooting reported as the celebrations turned violent, according to cops.
The charges include assault on a police officer, criminal possession of a gun, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration, cops said.
Amid the mayhem, 10 members of the NYPD were injured, including one officer who was struck by a glass bottle.
Videos circulating the web show shameless destruction of school buses and personal vehicles.
A 17-year-old boy was also shot in the foot.
The teen was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
Five school buses that were used to transport World Cup soccer fans to MetLife Stadium were also set on fire or otherwise destroyed by rampaging fans.

25 years ago there was an uproar over the Seinfeld episode about the craziness and mayhem of the Puerto Rican day parade in NYChitty...of course the usual allegations of racism were thrown around....
Six weeks after that was the infamous PR Day parade in NYChitty with all the craziness, mayhem and wilding incidents....it was poetic justice...
Compare this to every single one of the five Spurs national championship celebrations. No destruction, no injuries, no deaths. Just happy celebration and horn honking. Maybe next year…
This is how fanatics fan. Like a BLM get together, only diversity.
