"I've said that what I saw was a snowball fight, it should be treated accordingly. It was one that got out of hand, but that's what it was. He again reiterated that NYPD officers, and all city workers, deserve to be treated with respect."
"I can tell you I didn't expect this much attention nationwide on our emergency snow shoveler program. He added that more than 1,400 New Yorkers signed up."
"I'll keep the conversations that I have with the president private. Whenever they do happen, they always focus on how to better our city."
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced questions about a snowball-throwing incident in Washington Square Park where NYPD officers were injured. While Commissioner Jessica Tisch labeled the incident criminal and released images of four suspects, Mamdani maintained it was a snowball fight that escalated. He reiterated that city workers deserve respect but stopped short of endorsing criminal charges. Additionally, Mamdani addressed President Trump's State of the Union comments praising his emergency snow shoveling program, which attracted over 1,400 applicants. Mamdani declined to discuss the frequency of his communications with Trump, stating such conversations remain private and focus on improving the city.
