Hundreds of boisterous anti-Israel protesters stormed New York on Labor Day, marching into the city center, lighting flares and exploding smoke bombs.
According to footage posted online by Freedom TV and others, the mob gathered in Union Square in the early afternoon and began a raucous march north toward Grand Central Terminal.
Video footage showed NYPD officers trying to stop the march but being pushed aside by several protesters.
Blue and red flares fill the sky with smoke as the group moves through the city.
The massive protest was the latest chaotic demonstration by anti-Israel demonstrators since the Jewish state retaliated against a surprise attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel on October 7, with protests spreading across university campuses in the city and across the country.
The Washington Post reported this weekend that the protests have cost businesses around the world billions of dollars in losses.
