A crowd of rioters was spotted damaging a school bus after the New York Knicks won the NBA championship on Saturday night.

The team defeated the San Antonio Spurs on the road to clinch the NBA title.

The driver of the bus told the people vandalizing it that the damage would come out of his paycheck, but it didn't stop them, according to the footage that was posted.

A bus was set on fire in the city, as shown in footage circulating on social media. It's unclear if the one set on fire was the same bus that the crowd was vandalizing in the other video.
