From Fox News: Several officers with the New York City Police Department were struck with snowballs on Monday as they were responding to a call about a disorderly group.
The officers were dispatched to Washington Square Park shortly after 4 p.m. to address a large disorderly group, according to a spokesperson for the NYPD.
The large crowd was throwing snowballs when police arrived at the scene, the NYPD said, adding that some officers were hit in the face.
“The NYPD is aware of certain videos taken earlier today in Washington Square Park showing individuals attacking cops,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on X. “I want to be very clear: The behavior depicted is disgraceful, and it is criminal. Our detectives are investigating this matter.”
According to the report, several officers were taken to the hospital for treatment. While no arrests have been made yet, the incident remains under investigation.

The New York City police union blasted the attack, writing, “Unacceptable and outrageous — this is the environment that NYC police officers are up against. Our police officers are being treated for their injuries, but the case CANNOT end there. The individuals involved must be identified, arrested and charged with assault on a police officer. And all of our city leaders must speak up to condemn this despicable attack.”

DMLNewsApp and TeamDML.com founder Dennis Michael Lynch reacted in fury to the appalling incident.
“The dirtbag liberals in NYC are nailing cops with snowballs. The cops can’t do anything. I’m telling you, shit is going to hit the fan soon. People are going to push too far,” he warned.
DML also posted a video Tuesday morning and wrote:
NYPD: All cops should walk off the job, or strike! Show Mamdani and USA that you stand w/your brothers who got pelted w/ snowballs. Truth is, you’re only policing yourselves under Mamdani.
To the punks: in my day you’d be eating that snow, after we pissed in it.
