A deranged mother-daughter duo were busted for allegedly roughing up two New York Knicks fans and snatching their team gear in a caught-on-camera beatdown in Texas after Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
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 on June 13, according to court documents obtained by KSAT.
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.
Converse, Gomez, and two other assailants then snatched the victims’ hats and clothing – worth around $600 – that they had brought at the game, the court doc said.
The two fans – aged 40 to 65 – were taken to local hospitals for treatment, including one who suffered a nasty break to the right eye socket bone, police said.
Converse was nabbed Monday, two days after the attack, while Gomez was cuffed Wednesday.
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.
Recovered footage also showed the twisted pair getting into a car belonging to Gomez’s husband, who allegedly fessed up about his wife’s role in the alleged assault while in custody on unrelated warrants.
Converse and Gomez were each charged with aggravated robbery and robbery, police said.
“This 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,” the San Antonio Police Department said in a statement.
Both were reportedly booked into Bexar County Jail with bonds set at $100,000.
