Cops are trying to identify the unruly baby-faced teens who trashed an NYPD car in Union Square on Friday when Twitch streamer Kai Cenat’s PS5 giveaway erupted in rioting — a melee that City Hall partly blamed on “outside agitators.”
Police on Sunday released photos of six of the eight troublemakers estimated at between 14 and 18 years old who kicked and jumped on a patrol car during the violent mayhem, which left at least seven people injured, authorities said.
The riot also led to 66 arrests after the mega-social-media influencer’s unsanctioned giveaway sparked the chaos and ended with him being charged with inciting a riot and unlawful assembly — then freed on a desk-appearance ticket.
“We are further looking into where there’s some even outside agitators,” Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday — while also blaming parents for not making sure their kids were not part of Friday’s violence. *** We believe there were some outside influencers that may have attempted to aggravate the situation,” Adams said without elaborating. *** A witness told The Post on Saturday that the popular Manhattan spot “looked like we were under war” when the thousands-strong crowd erupted in violence during the botched giveaway. *** “We are deeply disheartened by the outbreak of disorderly conduct that affected innocent people and businesses, and do not condone that behavior.”
