The mayor was measured while talking about an NYC snowball fight which left two police officers with minor injuries.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani seemed to hope cooler heads would prevail after a Monday snowball melee in Washington Square Park left two police officers with minor injuries and a department demanding justice.
A mid-blizzard meetup of several dozen New Yorkers went from playful to precarious when police arrived to control the crowd, only to be promptly pelted with snowballs and chunks of ice.
According to New York City law enforcement’s labor union, the fracas “landed two police officers in the hospital with head and face injuries.”
In the wake of the scuffle, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said authorities had launched an investigation into the “disgraceful” and “criminal” incident.
But the mayor tried to temper Tisch’s pledge during a Wednesday press conference, telling reporters he didn’t see behavior that fit the definition of criminal assault in the video of the frosty free-for-all.
