NYPD Makes Numerous Arrests After Pro-Hamas Protesters Block Manhattan Bridge

The New York Police Department (NYPD) made numerous arrests on the Manhattan Bridge in New York City after hundreds of pro-Hamas protesters blocked the flow of traffic.

Earlier today, a large contingent of deranged individuals Palestine supporters gathered at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn (home of the Brooklyn Nets) to hold a rally in support of those Islamic terrorists. According to sources, the protestors did more than just meet up outside the prominent sports arena.

After some time, the large group tried to get themselves on the Manhattan Bridge. In order to do so, they had to break through a police barrier. As they forced their way onto the bridge, one officer sustained minor injuries, and 30 of the protesters were detained.

However, the majority of the group busted through the barrier and was able to achieve its objective and get on the bridge. The protesters blocked the flow of traffic and caused major disturbances as a result.

Fortunately, the NYPD was not outwitted, and the officers met the protesters from the opposite side of the bridge. Once they made contact with the group, they started making arrests very quickly, but did not immediately confirm how many were arrested.

This is just the latest in a long line of pro-Hamas demonstrations that have overtaken the country, especially at college campuses. Unlike the authorities in most of these instances, the NYPD actually put an end to the turmoil as quickly as possible.
