The assault on an NYPD officer outside Madison Square Garden last night was unacceptable.
New Yorkers are rightfully excited about the Knicks' historic Finals run, and we want fans to celebrate this moment together. There is, however, no place for violence, and no tolerance for attacks on police officers.
Thank you to the officers who worked to keep fans safe throughout the night, and we wish the injured officer a speedy recovery.
The overwhelming majority of New Yorkers celebrated responsibly, and I urge everyone to continue doing so as the Finals return to New York.
