Protesters Assault NYPD Officers

In a video released by the NYPD, a protester can be seen attacking a group of officers trying to make an arrest on the Brooklyn bridge. The protester is shown swinging a pole of some sort over a fence separating the cops from the crowd of protesters.

A police department spokesperson said the Chief of Department, Terence Monahan, is the other white-shirt member of the department seen in the video with the group at the time of the attack and suffered a non-life-threatening hand injury. Monahan was one of the NYPD members lauded for taking a knee with protesters during a demonstration in the city on June 1.
