Anti-Israel protestors armed with flares and Palestinian flags marched towards the headquarters of the NYPD only hours after officers wearing riot gear stormed an NYU protest ‘Gaza Solidarity’ encampment protest on Monday night.
More than 100 students, staff and faculty members were arrested by police after ignoring warnings to vacate the plaza where the protest was being held.
But those who finally left had other ideas with the mob reconvening in another march – this time through New York’s Chinatown and One Police Plaza the HQ of the NYPD.
The streets were lit up in bright orange while holding flares in the air as marchers waved flags and carried anti-Israel signs and banging drums and blowing whistles as they walked downtown.
Those carrying flares could be heard chanting ‘Gaza’ – while also being careful to wear face masks so as to conceal their true identity.
