New York’s Gay Pride Parade ended on a sour note… with several fights breaking out, which forced the police to intervene.
Washington Square Park became the center of chaos on Sunday night as onlookers gathered to watch several participants throw punches and hurl insults at each other.
In one particularly disturbing incident… a woman in a black bra and shorts stood in a water fountain while crying over two other guests. As the fight escalated, the woman in the bra pushed one of her rivals to the ground before redirecting her energies towards another woman in a pink top – who later had her hair aggressively pulled by someone else.
Several spectators filmed the heated argument… but instead of offering help, they seemed to belittle the losers of the fight.
The fights between the women ended, but the fight was renewed between a group of men… which caused a ripple effect of other fights.
Bystanders filmed the fight… with some people even looking happy at times. Police tried to control the chaos… placing barricades around the park and ordering people to leave the area as night fell.
It’s unclear if any arrests were made… but we do know that 22 people were arrested during an anti-Israel protest that took place earlier in the day.
ICYMI… Protesters temporarily blocked the 54th Pride Parade festivities in Greenwich Village. The parade began after police officers removed several protesters. 16 people were issued ticketed attendance tickets. The rest spent the night in police custody.
A less than stellar way to end what should have been a celebratory night.
