A stampede broke out early Sunday in New York as rumors spread of gunfire just after a boxing match ended, injuring almost a dozen people, police said.

As boxing fans filed out of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn after Saturday night’s match where Gervonta Davis retained his lightweight title against Rolando Romero, word of gunshots spread among the crowd, police said.
