NY--CAMPUS CHAOS, ANGRY PROTESTERS AT NY-ANTI-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATION PELT NYPD WITH BOTTLES, BASH COP'S HELMET WITH CHAIR

Angry protesters at NYU’s anti-Israel demonstration pelted NYPD officers with bottles as they raided the demonstration late Monday – with someone even bashing a cop’s helmet with a chair, a top department official said.

The NYPD moved onto the Greenwich Village campus, with permission from the university, when the camped-out group failed to disperse from Gould Plaza around 4 p.m., Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry told WABC Tuesday morning.

Community Affairs cops made the first attempt, before the department’s Strategic Response Group filed in, Daughtry said.

Some members of the crowd “chose violence” and whacked the responding cops with bottles, with one hitting a cop on his helmet with a chair, the police official tweeted, alongside a photo of the mark the blow left on the hardhat.
