A huge mob of rowdy winter warriors descended on a Manhattan park on February 23rd — throwing snowballs in a chaotic scene and tormenting cops, according to authorities and witnesses.
Agitators were caught on camera wreaking havoc as they hurled huge chunks of snow at police during a massive snowball fight in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park on Monday afternoon. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and ex-Mayor Eric Adams quickly pointed the finger at Mamdani — blaming his history of anti-police rhetoric for the violent scenes.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is being blasted after a mob launches a “disgusting” snowball attack on the NYPD during a blizzard.“This is disgraceful. But with a mayor who has a history of calling the police ‘racist, evil, wicked and corrupt,’ he set the tone,” “Words have consequences. We are seeing that in the growing disrespect for law enforcement — just as we’ve seen it in the rise in antisemitism. Real leaders understand that. This mayor does not.”Squatter who took over $2.3M mansion returns after short-lived jail stint “Watching officers get pelted with snow while they are out in brutal weather protecting this city should make every New Yorker furious. It is disgusting behavior,” “And the politicians who constantly bash the police and refuse to have their backs are setting a terrible example. Leadership matters. Tone matters.”Agitators were caught on camera wreaking havoc as they hurled huge chunks of snow at police during a massive snowball fight in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park on Monday afternoon.“This is disgraceful. @NYCMayor and every elected official in our city should denounce this juvenile attack on our NYPD. Back the blue and hold those who disrespect them accountable,” Staten Island Congresswoman Rep. Nicole Malliotakis It comes as NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch said police were investigating the antics — as cops unions called for arrests to be made. “Unacceptable and outrageous — this is the environment that NYC police officers are up against,” the Police Benevolent Association said in a statement.Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and ex-Mayor Eric Adams quickly pointed the finger at Mamdani — blaming his history of anti-police rhetoric for the violent scenes.“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.” Detectives’ Endowment Association President Scott Munro also called out the troublemakers, saying: “What we saw in Washington Square Park today was not harmless fun — it was a deliberate, outrageous, and dangerous attack on uniformed police officers.”The violence unfolded when an organized snowball fight with hundreds of winter revelers quickly descended into pure pandemonium just as the snowy conditions were easing on Monday afternoon. Police responding to the ruckus were quickly tormented and pelted with snowballs at close range as they patrolled the park. At one point, an agitator could be seen dunking a huge chunk of ice on an officer’s head before fleeing.“The NYPD is aware of certain videos taken earlier today in Washington Square Park showing individuals attacking cops,” the polish commissioner said in a statement on X in the aftermath. “I want to be very clear: The behavior depicted is disgraceful, and it is criminal. Our detectives are investigating this matter.”Anna Kepner's 16-year-old stepbrother charged with her cruise ship murder: reportsMeghan Markle’s wedding dress designer dropped a chic $40 bag at UniqloKris Jenner’s morning wellness routine: Bedside coffee, a ‘magic sauce’ workout and a smoothie she ‘can’t live without’Jim Breuer fumes after American Airlines bumps him from first class at the gate: ‘This is foul’@NYCMayor/X Agitators were caught on camera wreaking havoc as they hurled huge chunks of snow at police during a massive snowball fight in Manhattan's Washington Square Park on Monday afternoon.Former Gov.
