A teenager was shot amid the mayhem in Times Square as Knicks fans went wild there after the team’s historic NBA Finals win, police said.

The 17-year-old was shot in the left foot around 2 a.m. at 42nd Street and Broadway — roughly around the time hooligans began tearing apart and setting fire to school buses in the tourist hub.

The teen was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.

Meanwhile, cops couldn’t give full arrest numbers but said “multiple people” were busted amid the chaos sparked by the Knicks’ first NBA title in half a century.

At least one of those arrested was an individual who punched an officer, sources told The Post.

A livestreamer was also cuffed for climbing on top of an Amazon car.
