NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD released images Monday of multiple people wanted for smashing a yellow taxi in Midtown during a rowdy Knicks celebration last week.
Videos on social media show a crowd climbing onto the taxi and jumping on the hood and windshield as Knicks fans reveled in the team's 107-106 comeback in Game 4 against the Spurs on Wednesday night.
The NYPD released images of three men who allegedly damaged the windshield and hood of the cab at West 36th Street and Seventh Avenue around 12:35 a.m. Thursday.
