Pro-Palestine protesters clashed with the NYPD during a demonstration in Manhattan, where President Biden was holding a campaign event.
The protesters, who were demonstrating against Biden’s policies and expressing solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon, attempted to breach barricades and reach the event location.
The NYPD responded with a significant presence, leading to multiple arrests and accusations of excessive force. The protests were marked by chaotic scenes, including the use of smoke bombs and confrontations with riot police.
The NYPD’s actions, including kettling protesters and making arrests, have been criticized by some observers.
