British sportscaster Jim White said Thursday that a police officer knocked him down as he tried to cross a barrier during the New York Knicks championship parade. White, 69, was attempting to reach his "White and Jordan" radio show at the World Trade Center when he encountered crowds on the streets. He decided to hop the barrier to get through.
"I was flattened by one of NYPD's finest," White said on talkSPORT. White posted a photo on X thanking the officer and noting the officer appeared on his show.
Massive crowds filled the streets for the Knicks title parade, the team's first championship since 1953. Nearly 2 million fans attended the event.
