Police are looking for as many as 16 people wanted for jumping on cars and damaging them during the mayhem at Union Square earlier this month.
Cops released photos of the suspects who allegedly vandalized a 2011 BMW sedan during the riot that took place at around 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 4. The chaos was sparked by Twitch star Kai Cenat announcing that he was giving away PS5s.
The vandalized vehicle was parked in front of 15 Union Square West, police said.
The suspects were among the many people involved the riot. Police reported that they arrested approximately 65 people following the riot, 30 of whom were teenagers. Cenat was also detained by police.
Approximately 2,000 people attended the event, which erupted into a riot after dozens of spectators began fighting and then threw paint cans and bottles at one another and into the crowd.
Anyone with information in regard to the 16 suspects and the damaged vehicle is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
