A New York Knicks fan caught on camera dumping a public trash can onto a Manhattan sidewalk before making off with the blue-and-orange bin has been fired from JP Morgan Chase.

Angie Báez, 40, was no longer employed by the banking giant as of Tuesday after footage of the brazen parade-day stunt exploded online.

'This employee is no longer with the company,' a Chase spokesperson said in a statement to the Daily Mail.

The former executive was identified as the woman seen in viral clips wearing Knicks colors as she emptied a limited-edition trash receptacle — painted in the team's famous blue and orange for the championship celebrations — onto the pavement before walking away with it.

Another video appeared to show Báez taking the bin onto the subway.

The extraordinary scenes unfolded during the Knicks' open-top bus parade through Manhattan on Thursday, after the franchise ended its 53-year wait for an NBA championship.

Millions of fans packed the Canyon of Heroes and surrounding streets to celebrate the team, owner James Dolan and its star-studded cast of supporters. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani was also among those who joined the festivities.

But amid the sea of blue and orange, one fan's apparent attempt to turn a public trash can into a personal souvenir drew instant outrage.

Footage showed the woman lifting the receptacle and tipping its contents across the sidewalk, leaving piles of rubbish, including spilled drinks, strewn across the paving stones as stunned bystanders watched.

She then walked away with the bin and took it onto the subway where she was photographed for a second time.

The incident was condemned by the New York City Department of Sanitation, which branded the behavior illegal, antisocial and 'incredibly stupid.'

'Dumping trash onto the street and stealing public property for your own personal use are both illegal, antisocial behaviors, and not what New Yorkers do,' the department said in a statement. 'On top of all that, doing both on camera is incredibly stupid.'

Báez had been promoted more than a year ago to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase.

Before that, she worked as Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at The Infatuation, the New York-based restaurant-review website acquired by Chase as part of its expansion into lifestyle and experiential content.

A biography on The Infatuation's website praises Báez's work in helping make the food-media industry more equitable and describes her as one of the space's 'brightest voices.'
