CBSN
More than two dozen people were arrested in New York City on Thursday night after violence broke out between hundreds of pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian protesters. The clashes came as Israel and Hamas militants agreed to a cease-fire, which took effect at 2 a.m. local time Friday.
The New York Police Department told CBS News an unknown individual threw two commercial fireworks into a crowd in midtown, around the area of the Diamond District, which is associated with the city's Jewish community. One victim sustained minor injuries, and the NYPD Arson and Explosives Squad is investigating. No one has been arrested in connection with the firework incident, and the investigation is ongoing.More Related News
