The NYPD nearly rained on the New York Knicks’ victory parade when officers almost tackled guard Tyler Kolek.
The fan-favorite player, 25, was running along the Manhattan parade route Thursday and high-fiving fans while holding a beer in one hand when two police officers grabbed him and stopped him, appearing to mistake him for a fan who had hopped the barricade, as seen in a video shared first by ESPN’s Kimberley A. Martin.
