3 people attacked with eggs, bricks on way to protest NYC drag queen event: cops
Three people were attacked with a brick and eggs, then robbed on their way to protest a drag queen event near Lincoln Center Saturday morning, cops said.
The three were walking southbound on Amsterdam Avenue at 11:06 a.m. when six people — wearing black hooded shirts and black masks — attacked them from behind.
One of the victims, a 31-year-old man, was punched and kicked while the assailants snatched his coat, phone, and a sign, according to authorities.
An attacker, meanwhile, picked up a 47-year-old woman and threw her to the ground as the attacker tried to steal her bag.
The third friend, a 27-year-old man, was pushed and hit as he “was trying to defend his friend,” cops said.
The masked thieves then chucked a brick and eggs at the protesters, but missed, according to police.
No arrests have been made. The attackers were described as a woman and five men, all wearing black hoodies and masks.
