Summary
A 17-year-old remained hospitalized after being punched and kicked outside Madison Square Garden during postgame celebrations, with police saying the attack left him in a coma after a seizure before his condition later stabilized.
NYPD said the assault followed an argument over NBA team support, and WABC reported the clash began after a social media content creator asked fans which side they backed and someone answered, "Spurs in 7."
Police are seeking the man who allegedly attacked the teen and want him on a gang-assault charge, asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers.
The beating unfolded amid chaotic scenes after the Knicks' Game 4 win near MSG, where earlier reports said 56 people were arrested and 10 officers were injured.
