Famed British sportscaster Jim White said Thursday that he was \u201cflattened\u201d by a police officer as he tried to make his way through the Knicks\u2019 championship parade.<\/p>

White, who now works for talkSPORT after a legendary stint with Sky Sports, was trying to get to his \u201cWhite and Jordan\u201d show when he took stock of the \u201cchaos\u201d on the streets.<\/p>\n

He then decided to hop a barrier to get to his studio at the World Trade Center \u2014 a decision that initially went awry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was flattened by one of NYPD\u2019s finest,\u201d he said on talkSPORT. \u201cThey then told me, hey, buddy, if you pull that stunt again, you\u2019ll be arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, White, 69, was able to win over the cop when he explained that he was the host of a prominent radio show.<\/p>\n

The cop, named Vinny, then escorted White through the traffic so he could get to his studio.<\/p>\n

White even posed for a picture with the police officer and posted a picture of them together to X.<\/p>

\u201cHe got on me on air at @talkSPORT and I\u2019m forever grateful!\u201d<\/p>\n

White has brought his radio show to New York for the World Cup.<\/p>\n
