Looks like things got out of control when Kai Cenat hosted a PS5 giveaway in Union Square Park in New York City!
In the videos that are currently surfacing all over twitter you can see folks tearing down construction barricades and hurling objects, including throwing some objects at responding police officers. Footage from ABC News, also showed people climbing on top of the roof covering the entrance to the Union Square subway station. One person was seen setting off a fire extinguisher, sending off a lot of smoke over the crowd.
The event got so out of hand, NYPD had to call for a massive response – a Level 4 mobilization, meaning roughly 1,000 officers to help and try to calm things down. After people began demolishing construction barricades, throwing objects, and standing on top of the Union Square subway entrance. Several people could be seen being placed into custody.
AT one point footage showed a black car driving down the road which reporters believe had Kai inside and several people rushing the car and people were seen on top of the vehicle while the car was driving extremely fast. At least three people could be seen tumbling off the vehicle as it sped away. Some of the people at Union Square could be seen standing on top of cars and trucks.
By 4:40 p.m., the crowd had thinned out significantly, but there were still plenty of people in the area. So far there have been no reports of serious injuries, according to Abc News.
