Indiana Pacers fan, 24, accused of stabbing New York Knicks rivals in furious bar attack during playoff game

An Indiana Pacers fan allegedly stabbed two New York Knicks supporters while watching his team’s playoff victory at a bar in Carmel last Friday. 

According to local news station FOX59, Carmel resident Jarrett Funke, 24, was initially kicked out of a brewery in the Indiana city for harassing the two rival fans in question during Game 2 of Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and the Knicks.

He is then said to have returned and stabbed one man in the back before attempting to leave. When police arrived, however, another individual was also found with a wound in his leg.

Police were initially called to the brewery because of an alleged fight involving Funke, yet when he was kicked out the caller stated that officers no longer needed to respond.

Minutes later an employee of the establishment reportedly called them back after Funke had returned to its patio, before stabbing the first Knicks supporter in the back.

The two victims allegedly told police that the Pacers rival approached them at the bar and ‘smacked’ one of their Knicks hats onto the ground.

They claim Funke was then taken outside as he shouted ‘f*** you, you still have a f***ing problem. Take this outside.’
