Union Square Park in Manhattan erupted in chaos on Friday after a throng of what police estimated to be several thousand young people descended on the area, drawn by the chance to receive video game consoles being given away by two YouTube streamers.
In addition to the riot count, the livestreamer, Kai Carlo Cenat III, was expected to be charged with unlawful assembly and, potentially, other crimes, Jeffrey Maddrey, the New York Police Department s chief of department, said at a news conference late Friday.
