Crowds swarm Knicks ticker-tape parade as thousands turned away

On June 18, Knicks fans lined the streets of New York City for a ticker-tape parade celebrating the team's championship victory. The NYPD estimated over two million attended, while many fans were denied entry to viewing pens due to capacity limits. Some resorted to climbing scaffolding and fire escapes for a better view. The event saw significant disruptions in subway service, and 26 people were transported to hospitals for various conditions. In total, more than 10,000 police officers were assigned to ensure safety during the event.
