Two NYPD officers are in the hospital with head and facial injuries after being pelted with chunks of ice and packed snow during a chaotic melee in Washington Square Park on Monday night, but dear old Mayor Zohran Mamdani has decided it was all just harmless winter fun.
During a Tuesday press briefing on the massive blizzard that dumped nearly 20 inches of snow on the city, Mamdani was asked point-blank about the incident, which was captured on multiple videos showing a large crowd aggressively bombarding police officers.
His response? “It was a snowball fight.”
When pressed on whether the people who hospitalized two cops should face charges for assault on a police officer, the mayor doubled down, “I don’t.”
He even joked that the only person in the city’s workforce who deserves to be hit with a snowball is himself.
