In an unfortunate turn of events, Union Square in New York City witnessed a disturbing incident of violence on Friday afternoon.

The area became a chaotic scene as a large group of kids and teenagers, estimated to be around 1,000 individuals, gathered for a PlayStation giveaway organized by a social media influencer.

The New York City Police Department revealed that during this event, some police officers were injured as they faced an onslaught of bottles, rocks, and fireworks being hurled at them.

According to reports, Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, known for his online presence, announced the giveaway on social media earlier that day.
