Chaos was seen in New York this evening as a large crowd gathered in New York City’s Union Square for a giveaway hosted by YouTibe star Kai Cenat, who is now in custody.
People were seen climbing on vehicles, while others could be seen pulling at construction barriers and throwing objects including at nearby police officers. Police sources confirmed Cenat is in custody, but it is not clear if he has been arrested or detained.
NYPD issued a level four alert, which would allow up to 1,000 officers to be mobilised to the area. A spokesperson said there had been “numerous” arrests.
One person was seen setting off a fire extinguisher and three people could be seen tumbling off a vehicle as it sped away. Smoke was also briefly visible at the scene.
