Celebrations of the New York Knicks’ championship win on Saturday night turned chaotic as fans set off flares while standing on top of a school bus in Manhattan.
Rowdy fans were seen climbing into and atop school buses in Times Square soon after the Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Exuberant celebrations saw fans flocking to Times Square and running through the streets as fireworks boomed over Brooklyn and Central Park.
Outside Madison Square Garden, fans sang the team's anthem: “Go New York, Go New York, Go!”
The city will officially celebrate the Knicks on Thursday with a parade and City Hall ceremony.

New York City's celebration of the Knicks' first NBA championship in more than 50 years was marred by gunfire in Times Square early Sunday morning that left a teenager hospitalized, according to the New York Police Department.
An NYPD spokesperson told Fox News Digital that officers responded to a shooting at approximately 2:01 a.m. near 42nd Street and Broadway.
A 17-year-old male was shot once in the left foot and transported to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
Police said three persons of interest were taken into custody and a firearm was recovered at the scene.
The shooting came hours after thousands of Knicks fans flooded streets across Manhattan to celebrate the franchise's first NBA title since 1973.
The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Saturday in Texas.
In the aftermath of the historic victory, some individuals were seen causing damage in videos circulating on social media, while officers in riot gear and on horseback worked to manage large crowds that poured into the streets following the win.
One video appeared to show two people jumping onto the roof of an NYPD vehicle and smashing its windshield.
Another appeared to show individuals climbing on and entering school buses near Times Square.
A third video appeared to show NYPD officers tackling and arresting a Knicks fan as authorities attempted to disperse crowds.
Additional videos posted online appeared to show police making arrests amid the celebrations.
The NYPD told Fox News Digital it expects to provide an update on the number of arrests later Sunday.
