Police make second bust in cowardly snowball attack on NYPD cops
NY Post
An 18-year-old Manhattan man was charged with harassment and obstruction Wednesday in the cowardly snowball-pelting attack on NYPD cops at Washington Square Park, police said.
Eric Wilson, Jr., who turned himself in to cops, is the second frosty fiend charged in the Feb. 23 caught-on-video attack on New York’s Finest, which sent two officers to the hospital with minor injuries.
According to police, Wilson, “with intent to intent to annoy and harass, threw a snowball at the uniformed officer, obstructing his duties.”
Hundreds of winter revelers were hurling snowballs when cops were called to the park around 4 p.m. — only to be come the target of the icy projectiles, video footage from the scene shows.
Gusmane Coulibaly, a 27-year-old self-proclaimed influencer who goes by the name “Diaperman” online, was the first thug busted in the incident, but caught a break when Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg declined to prosecute on the most serious charge of assault.
That left Coulibaly — who is also charged in an unrelated attempted robbery case — facing slap-on-the-wrist charges of harassment and obstruction of governmental administration in the snowball incident, the same charges now lodged against Wilson by cops on Wednesday.
