Knicks Fans Assaulted Outside River Walk Hotel After Game 5

Police review viral videos as the injured father recovers from a serious brain injury.

Overview

  • The attack occurred minutes after the Knicks clinched the title when a 62-year-old father and his 29-year-old son were allegedly jumped outside Hotel Valencia Riverwalk.
  • The father suffered a brain bleed, facial injuries and shoulder damage and has since been discharged from the hospital but remains in significant pain.
  • The son said attackers shouted anti-Knicks slurs and at least some wore Spurs gear, and he described being pushed, punched and stomped during the assault.
  • San Antonio police are investigating multiple viral videos of downtown incidents and say no arrests have been announced with suspects still at large.
  • Large post-game crowds produced several confrontations downtown, and investigators are relying on video evidence and witness accounts while victims remain fearful of identifying themselves.
