At least a dozen anti-Israel protesters arrested in NYC after clashing with police during noisy demonstration

Anti-Israel demonstrators and New York City police officers clashed during a raucous demonstration in Brooklyn on Saturday, resulting in at least a dozen arrests.

Video showed some of the approximately 250 rioters pushing back as police tried to move them toward the Bay Ridge sidewalk.

Police eventually attacked and arrested several protesters, according to the video program.

Police could be seen dragging protesters away as they resisted and yelled at officers. One of the protesters threw a water bottle at them.

A man was pinned down by police in a van and handcuffed as people shouted for police to release him.

A line of handcuffed protesters wearing Palestinian flags was filmed being loaded into the back of a police vehicle.

“We love you!” a friend shouted to one of them from the other side of the police line.

The Post confirmed that at least 12 people were arrested. Police did not immediately have an official arrest count.

The entire neighborhood was blanketed with a large police presence.

“The NYPD has spent over $400 million on the Palestinian protests alone,” demonstrators chanted in a call-and-response.

“They told us to stop. But we will not rest. Until this city is sold. Free Palestine,” they said.

“Don’t talk to these pigs that don’t deserve our attention,” a woman shouted on top of a U-Haul truck, to loud applause.

“Biden is the oldest president we’ve ever had. And he’s going to die soon,” she added, which drew even more cheers.
