A wild video showed a mob of youngsters — including at least one in blue and orange Knicks merch — launching chairs at a Five Guys employee in Manhattan after Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The violent crew entered the burger joint on West 42nd Street near Seventh Avenue and assaulted a 24-year-old employee around 3 a.m. on Thursday, leaving him bloodied behind the counter, according to the NYPD.
Video of the incident posted to social media captured the group of roughly a dozen young men throwing stools at the fast food worker behind the counter.
At least a few people climbed over the counter to continue viciously berating the man as he attempted to throw French fries from the fryer at the assailants, the clips showed.
“Ohh, they’re killing him, oh!” one person yelled as an enraged bearded man in a white tank top thrust more furniture at the employee, who was knocked to the ground and trapped in a corner underneath a pile of chairs.
The Five Guys worker appeared bloodied and was missing a shoe when the mob started running outside after someone shouted: “Abort, abort, abort.”
The man sustained a laceration to his right arm in the assault, police said.
Clips circulating from inside the restaurant alleged the beatdown was because the Five Guys employee was a San Antonio Spurs fan, though he did not appear to be wearing the team’s paraphernalia.
One of the attackers was wearing a Knicks T-shirt and a man inside the eatery had on a Knicks hat — though it’s unclear if he was involved in the beatdown.
The streets surrounding Madison Square Garden descended into chaos after Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night.
Dozens of people were arrested in the mayhem that erupted across Gotham, according to law enforcement, in which 10 members of the NYPD were injured, including one officer who was struck in the head with a glass bottle.
The NYPD said the havoc demonstrated the need for a stepped-up police presence ahead of the games.
No arrests have been made in the fast food chain assault, police said. Five Guys did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
An investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
