唐纳德·特朗普总统参加第三场比赛在周一晚上尼克斯队和马刺队之间的NBA总决赛中，纽约警察局和特勤局表示，他们将“封锁”麦迪逊广场花园。
周一晚上，在备受期待的比赛之前，特朗普被看到在麦迪逊广场花园的包厢里。
他的孙女凯·川普(Kai Trump)、中东特使史蒂夫·威特科夫(Steve Witkoff)、白宫办公厅副主任丹·斯卡维诺(Dan Scavino)、环保局局长李·泽尔丁(Lee Zeldin)、交通部长肖恩·达菲(Sean Duffy)和贾里德·库什纳也出席了会议。
在周一上午的新闻发布会上，NYPD专员杰西卡·蒂施(Jessica Tisch)表示，警方将在曼哈顿中城竞技场周围建立一个半径为两个街区的安全防线，取消原定在场馆外举行的粉丝观看派对。
“我认为纽约人习惯了总统来镇上，他们知道这通常意味着封锁地区，这就是你今晚将在花园看到的，”Tisch说。
根据Tisch的说法，从美国东部时间下午4点开始，比赛开始前4个半小时，警方将开始封锁麦迪逊广场花园周围的街道和大道，创造一个安全冻结区。
“任何人都不允许进入安全区域，除非他们有比赛门票、火车票，他们要去该区域内的企业，他们有证书，或者他们有其他授权的理由，”她说。
Tisch说，任何人都不允许带着背包进入安全区域，除非他们要去附近的宾夕法尼亚车站赶火车。
负责美国特勤局纽约办事处的特工马特·麦克库尔建议持票球迷在比赛开始前两小时到达公园，以确保他们通过包括磁力计在内的“多层”安全检查，及时赶上东部时间晚上8点30分的比赛。
Tisch与特勤局协调后表示，由于特朗普参加了比赛，已决定取消周一晚上在麦迪逊广场花园外举行的粉丝观看派对。
但Tisch说，其他观看派对定于周一晚上举行，包括纽约市长Zohran Mamdani在花园以东约一英里的Bryant Park举办的派对。
Mamdani上周说，他也计划在第三场比赛中出现在花园。
Tisch说花园外的观看聚会将在周三晚上的第四场比赛中继续。
恶意行为者的“高风险”
的回归NBA总决赛根据美国广播公司新闻频道获得的纽约警察局的一份评估，去纽约意味着“意识形态领域的恶意行为者关注的风险增加”。
该文件称，那些恶意行为者“可能会利用高调的体育赛事作为有针对性的暴力或破坏的诱人机会”。
周一晚上，尼克斯队将迎来27年来的首次NBA总决赛。
尼克斯队在系列赛中以2比0领先圣安东尼奥马刺队，纽约队寻求赢得自1973年以来的第一个NBA总冠军。
专员发出警告
周五晚上，数千名尼克斯球迷聚集在麦迪逊广场花园外，观看在圣安东尼奥进行的NBA总决赛第二场。
但据NYPD报道，尼克斯队获胜后的庆祝活动导致多人被捕，一名警察受伤。
NYPD说，整个晚上，人群变得越来越混乱。警察逮捕了一名袭击者和一名在比赛结束前攀爬灯柱的人。
尼克斯队获胜后，警方表示，多人拒绝离开该地区的命令，封锁了从西31街到西35街的第七和第八大道的交通，并爬上了食品摊贩的手推车、灯柱和地铁入口。
据警方称，有一人越过栅栏进入了禁区。当一名官员试图将此人带走时，据称此人多次猛击该官员的脸部，造成伤口，需要治疗。这名军官后来接受治疗并被释放。
警方还逮捕了几名被指控销售假冒商品的人。根据NYPD的说法，其中一人面临拥有上膛枪支的额外指控。
周五总共有26人被拘留。警方表示，有17人被捕并受到指控，而另外9人因扰乱治安被刑事法庭传唤并被释放。
NYPD专员Tisch警告球迷们在本周的比赛中要有更好的表现。
“我们不会容忍暴力，特别是针对警察的暴力，破坏财产，爬上灯柱或建筑物，阻挡急救车辆或其他混乱行为，”Tisch说。
'Lockdown': Massive perimeter to ring Madison Square Garden as Trump goes to NBA Finals
With President Donald Trumpattending Game 3of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs on Monday night, the New York Police Department and the Secret Service say they are putting Madison Square Garden on "lockdown."
Trump was seen inside his box at Madison Square Garden Monday night ahead of the highly anticipated game.
His granddaughter, Kai Trump, and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Jared Kushner were among those in attendance.
During a news conference Monday morning, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said police officers will establish a block-to-two-block-radius security perimeter around the Midtown Manhattan arena, canceling a fan watch party that was set to occur outside the venue.
"I think New Yorkers are used to presidents coming to town, and that they understand that that generally means lockdown of areas, and that's what you're going to see tonight at the Garden," Tisch said.
Beginning at 4 p.m. ET, four-and-a-half hours before the start of the game, police will start blocking off streets and avenues around Madison Square Garden, creating a security frozen zone, according to Tisch.
"No one will be allowed inside the secured area unless they have a ticket to the game, a train ticket, they are going to a business inside the area, they have credentials, or they have some other authorized reason to be there," she said.
Tisch said no one will be allowed in the secured area with a backpack unless they are going to nearby Pennsylvania Station to catch a train.
Matt McCool, special agent in charge of the U.S. Secret Service Field Office in New York, advised ticketed fans to arrive at the Garden two hours before game time to ensure they make it through the "multiple layers" of security, including magnetometers, in time for the 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff.
In coordination with the Secret Service, Tisch said a decision was made to cancel Monday night's fan watch party outside of Madison Square Garden due to Trump attending the game.
But Tisch said other watch parties are scheduled for Monday night, including one hosted by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani at Bryant Park, about a mile east of the Garden.
Mamdani said last week that he also plans to be at the Garden for Game 3.
Tisch said the watch party outside the Garden will resume for Game 4 on Wednesday night.
'Heightened risk' for malicious actors
The return of theNBA Finalsto New York comes with a "heightened risk of attention by malicious actors across the ideological spectrum," according to a New York Police Department assessment obtained by ABC News.
Those malicious actors "may use high-profile sporting events as an attractive opportunity for targeted violence or disruption," the document said.
The Knicks are set to host their first NBA Finals in 27 years on Monday night.
The Knicks lead the series two games to none over the San Antonio Spurs in New York's quest to win its first NBA championship since 1973.
Commissioner issues warning
Thousands of Knicks fans gathered outside Madison Square Garden on Friday night to watch Game 2 of the NBA Finals, which was played in San Antonio.
But celebrations after the Knicks' victory led to multiple arrests and an injured police officer, according to the NYPD.
The NYPD said the crowd became increasingly disorderly throughout the evening. Officers made an arrest for assault and for individuals climbing light poles before the game ended.
Following the Knicks' victory, police said multiple people refused orders to leave the area, blocked traffic along Seventh and Eighth Avenues from West 31st Street to West 35th Street, and climbed onto food vendor carts, light poles and subway entrances.
According to police, one person jumped over a barrier into a restricted area. When an officer attempted to remove the individual, the person allegedly punched the officer in the face multiple times, causing lacerations that required medical treatment. The officer was later treated and released.
Police also arrested several people accused of selling counterfeit merchandise. One of those individuals faces an additional charge of possessing a loaded firearm, according to the NYPD.
In total, 26 people were taken into custody on Friday. Police said 17 people were arrested and charged, while nine others were issued criminal court summonses for disorderly conduct and released.
NYPD Commissioner Tisch has warned fans to be on better behavior for this week's games in New York.
"We will have no tolerance for violence, particularly violence against police officers, destruction of property, climbing on light poles or structures, blocking emergency vehicles or other chaotic behavior," Tisch said.
