Out of control New York University protesters swarmed and berated an NYPD chief and his officers – calling them “f–king fascists” – after they cuffed one of the demonstrators at an anti-Israel rally, wild new video shows.
The viral video, shared on X, shows NYPD Assistant Chief James McCarthy and his officers being chased and surrounded by protestors on Monday night while trying to get inside the NYU Catholic Center after arresting one of them.
“F–k you! F–k you, pigs,” the crowd could be heard shouting as they harassed the officers and demanded they release the woman in custody.
McCarthy could be seen having trouble getting the glass doors to open as the protesters circled behind him, effectively trapping the cops and yelling profanities.
Some of the officers could be seen swatting protesters’ hands away before McCarthy pushes through the crowd and leads the officers around the side of the building to look for another entrance.
As they followed the police, the protesters could be heard chanting, “Free! Free Palestine!,” while also calling the officers’ “F–king facists.”
The woman in custody also pleaded with the officers to let her go, shouting, “All I did was throw a f–king bag!”
As the officers eventually find an entrance, they hurry inside while shoving out one protester who could be seen trying to push his way in.
The protesters were left on the other side of the glass doors, with officers holding the entrance shut as the demonstrators banged against the doors and hurled more insults at them.
The demonstrators proceeded to yell, “Shame,” as they accused the police of breaking the law and “kidnapping” the protester.
The NYPD did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The wild incident occurred when the NYPD was called in to clear out the campus encampment set up at NYU on Monday night, with more than 100 protesters arrested.
The students had created their own “tent city” in solidarity with the sprawling encampment set up at Columbia University, with NYU students demanding their own school divest holdings tied to Israel over the war in Gaza.
During Monday night’s clash with police, some protesters pelted NYPD officers with bottles as they worked to clear the encampment, with one demonstrator hitting a cop in the head with a chair, the NYPD said.
