Popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber Kai Cenat has been charged with inciting a riot and unlawful assembly after he advertised a “HUGE GIVEAWAY” in the city’s Union Square that descended into mayhem on Friday afternoon, with a crowd of thousands turning unruly.Associated PressOfficers initially evacuated Cenat for “safety reasons” and questioned him at a precinct on the evening of the riot, New York Police Department Chief Jeffrey Maddrey said at a Friday press conference.
“Listen, we’re not against young people having a good time, we’re not against young people gathering,” Maddrey told reporters Friday. “But it can’t be to this level where it’s dangerous. A lot of people got hurt today.” “Our officers exercised great strength despite the aggression that they were met with and the acts of violence they were met with,” Maddrey added in an afternoon press conference.
An hour later, numerous news helicopters circled above Manhattan, capturing the chaos and live streaming it online and over the air. The number of rioters, reported to be mostly teens and young adults, continued to grow into the thousands, Maddrey said.
