New York City police are investigating after officers were pelted with snowballs while responding to a massive snowball fight at Washington Square Park in Manhattan.
A video of the fracas shows two uniformed officers pacing a walkway in the park Monday as snowballs fly at them from all directions, hitting the officers and covering them in snow.
The officers, growing visibly frustrated, shoved at least two people to the ground as snowballs continued to whizz by. At one point, a person runs up behind an officer and mushes some snow onto his head. One of the officers can be seen rubbing his eye toward the end of the video.
In a statement Tuesday, the New York Police Department said multiple uniformed officers were struck in the face with snowballs and were “removed by EMS in stable condition” to a nearby hospital, but did not disclose additional information on their injuries.
Whew, they’re in stable condition. Anyone see the video floating around? I can’t find it.

that said, it’s sad that they just can’t stand seeing a community having fun together and must do something to stop it… how pathetic.
assault on cops… please, why were they even there for more then a few minutes. observe from a distance… confirm it’s a community of people having fun. if NO LAWS ARE BEING BROKEN, then fuck off back to your cars and go do actual work. there is zero reason to speak with anyone or stop the activity from happening. such pathetic individuals
Aw thanks, I have a lot of adblockers for video too, it must have gotten caught up in that.
Edit: That’s not the full thing. They described a video where the cops were pushing people and someone came up with a snowball and smashed them in the face.
Cops are not capable of being anything other than power tripping egotistical meat heads.
