Clip — Share on Instagram jewish hatred database PAGE – A group of pro-Palestinian protesters are shown in an apparent confrontation with a lone man in the middle of an Upper East Side street.
One person could be heard screaming as protesters tried to force the man away from a group waving a Palestinian flag.
As the Jewish man slowly backed away and stepped over a flowerbed, one of the rowdy anti-Israel demonstrators was filmed bending down, snatching a scarf, or sudra, from his head and running away.
The mob continued to push the man backwards, after which he grabbed a scarf from a jeering demonstrator.
A scuffle soon broke out, and several men were caught on camera repeatedly punching the Jewish man in the face and head as he tried to back away.
More than a dozen men were seen trying to chase the Jewish man, but he eventually broke free and fled the scene.
A witness who filmed the ordeal from across the street said he took the footage to the local New York City Police Department.
It was not immediately clear whether anyone was charged during the scuffle.
The Post contacted police.
The violence occurred after more than 1,000 rioters tried to storm the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of a “Day of Rage” protest organized by Palestinian activist group Within Our Lifetime.
About 20 protesters marching from Hunter College of the City University of New York were arrested near Madison Avenue and East 83rd Street, police officials said.
After being stopped by police and diverted into Central Park, demonstrators destroyed a World War I memorial and burned an American flag.
