Update: The police arrested a 27-year-old man, Gusmane Coulibaly, who was throwing ice. This man was arrested a few weeks ago for attempted burglary. He has been released, and the charges dropped. Alvin Bragg dropped the assault charges.
Now, Coulibaly faces a misdemeanor charge of obstructing government administration, as well as a harassment violation.
Did Zohran have something to do with this?
The media is calling this criminal an influencer.

Following Coulibaly’s release, Mayor Mamdani’s spokesperson, Dora Pekec, agreed that the influencer should not face criminal charges.
“As the mayor has said, police officers deserve to be treated with respect,” Pekec told reporters at The New York Times. “The videos he saw showed a snowball fight that got out of hand.
“He does not believe this situation rises to the level of criminal charges.”
On the other hand, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the events at the snowball fight as “criminal” and “disgraceful” in a social media statement.
All you have to say to get special consideration is say you’re an influencer.
Original Story, February 25th
NYPD officers were hurt by fanatics throwing ice and snowballs at their heads. Some had to go to the hospital for facial injuries. It was a large mob of angry leftists. You can watch the clip here.
Mamdani made a joke of our officers being treated disgracefully. All he saw was a snowball fight that got out of hand. Zohran said it will be treated as such.
“I think there were two officers who were facing lacerations on their face,” Mamdani said. He was then asked if he would call for the prosecution of the people who pelted the officers with snowballs. Mamdani replied, “Look, I’ve seen the videos of this snowball fight. I think that it was a snowball fight.”

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch called the mob’s actions “disgraceful” and “criminal.”
“The NYPD is aware of certain videos taken earlier today in Washington Square Park showing individuals attacking cops. I want to be very clear: The behavior depicted is disgraceful, and it is criminal,” Tisch said. “Our detectives are investigating this matter.”
It was very unfriendly. One video shows officers trying to walk through the park. Another on YouTube shows police fleeing. Nothing like making the police flee these losers.
These punks need a good beating . . . and then some.
Why is it so hard to shower our men in blue with respect not icy snowballs.
