A deranged mother-daughter duo were busted for allegedly roughing up two New York Knicks fans<\/a> and snatching their team gear in a caught-on-camera beatdown in Texas after Game 5 of the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

Destiny Converse, 28, and Maria Gomez, 46, ambushed the proud fans in downtown San Antonio as they headed back to their hotel still clad in Knicks apparel after the New York team defeated the Spurs <\/a>on June 13, according to court documents obtained by KSAT.<\/a><\/p>\n

Shocking video allegedly captured by bystanders showed the crazed pair repeatedly socking and booting the two victims in the head at the intersection of Navarro and East Houston streets.<\/p>\n

Converse, Gomez, and two other assailants then snatched the victims\u2019 hats and clothing \u2013 worth around $600 \u2013 that they had brought at the game, the court doc said.<\/p>\n

The two fans \u2013 aged 40 to 65 \u2013 were taken to local hospitals for treatment, including one who suffered a nasty break to the right eye socket bone, police said.<\/p>\n

Converse was nabbed Monday, two days after the attack, while Gomez was cuffed Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Police said they tied their clothing to videos of the vicious assault and a clip the unhinged mother posted on social media the night of the attack, according to court records.<\/p>\n

Shocking video showed the crazed pair repeatedly socking and booting the two victims in the head.<\/p>\n

Recovered footage also showed the twisted pair getting into a car belonging to Gomez\u2019s husband, who allegedly fessed up about his wife\u2019s role in the alleged assault while in custody on unrelated warrants.<\/p>\n

Converse and Gomez were each charged with aggravated robbery and robbery, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a reminder that violent behavior towards anyone is unacceptable and does not reflect the values of our community or the spirit of San Antonio,\u201d the San Antonio Police Department <\/a>said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Both were reportedly booked into Bexar County Jail with bonds set at $100,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A deranged mother-daughter duo were busted for allegedly roughing up two New York Knicks fans and snatching their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":272289,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3283,303,9,11,1104,10,2955,9138,1777,58],"class_list":["post-272288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-arrests","tag-crime","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-new-york-news","tag-robberies","tag-san-antonio-spurs","tag-texas","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
