Hundreds of anti-Israeli protesters wreak havoc in downtown NYC, disrupt bridge traffic as cops make arrests

Anti-Israeli protesters wreaked havoc in Lower Manhattan on Monday, storming the Brooklyn Bridge while holding pro-Palestinian placards.

Several hundred marchers converged on the historic span around 3:45 p.m., disrupting bridge traffic — with NYPD cops seen making several arrests.

Police swarmed the area in an attempt to contain the protest — the latest in the Big Apple since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel and the subsequent counter-offensive by the Jewish State in the Gaza Strip.

Photos posted on social media shows the massive mob invading the span.

“A bunch of people already got over,” one protester on the bridge told The Post. “They started arresting people here.”

It is not immediately clear how many arrests have been made so far.

Meanwhile, police in riot gear blocked the bridge to keep the protesters away from City Hall.

Rowdy pro-Palestinian demonstrations have rocked the city in recent months, with protesters disrupting Midtown holiday festivities and converging on Big Apple landmarks.
