Rowdy Knicks fanatics clashed with cops outside Bryant Park’s Game 3 watch party Monday night – including at least one who hurled a bottle at an officer.
The sea of fans was already teetering over the edge just one hour after tip-off, as many didn’t make it inside the official watch park of the Knicks-Spurs game in the Midtown park.
Rabblerousing fans started vaulting onto parked cars while chanting “We want Wemby!” One daredevil set fire to a Spurs t-shirt, while a mob chased a San Antonio fan across the street.
The troublemakers, who largely appeared to be young people, even knocked down a metal bus sign and broke off large tree branches.
Cops in riot gear rushed to control the unruly crowd and deployed pepper spray, while fans tossed bottles at the officers.
One person was arrested for assaulting a police officer and at least six people were cuffed for disorderly conduct.
