00:14sparking massive celebrations across the city.

00:26Videos began flooding social media, showing fans climbing poles, scaling structures, damaging property, and clashing with police as authorities struggled
00:35to control the crowds.
00:37One moment in particular sparked outrage.
00:40A taxi driver was left devastated after fans surrounded his cab, climbed onto it, and severely damaged the vehicle.
00:47The man could only watch as his source of income was vandalized in the middle of the celebrations.
01:05The situation continued to escalate throughout the night.
01:08School buses were set on fire, a 17-year-old was reportedly shot near Times Square, and more footage revealed
