Injured Man Taken to Hospital During Anti-Lockdown Protest in Brooklyn

A man was taken to hospital amid unconfirmed reports he was pelted with rocks during a protest against coronavirus restrictions in Brooklyn overnight on October 6-7.

An NYPD spokesman told Storyful that a man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, but said he had no information about what caused them.

The incident occurred during protests by members of the Borough Park Orthodox Jewish community.

During the protests, masks were reported to have been burned. A witness said one reporter was “swarmed and chased” by protesters. Credit: Jacob Kornbluh/Jewish Insider via Storyful
