A protest in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, escalated into violence as anti-Israel demonstrators clashed with counter-protesters, leading to incidents of harassment against two women. Mayor Eric Adams condemned the events, emphasizing New York City's commitment to peaceful protests while rejecting violence. Video footage showcased one woman being aggressively followed by a crowd, with reports of injury. Another woman, not involved in the protest, faced threats as she was surrounded by counter-protesters. The NYPD is currently investigating these incidents.
"New York City will always be a place where people can peacefully protest, but we will not tolerate violence, trespassing, menacing, or threatening."
"The second woman, who was not a part of the protest, was surrounded and subjected to vile threatening by counter-protesters."
