The New York Police department made more than 250 arrests during protests Sunday night into Monday morning, the department’s press office told CNN early this morning, adding that most of the arrests were made in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
At least seven officers were injured and about a dozen vehicles were damaged during the protests, the NYPD said.
Thousands of people took to the streets across the country during the weekend in both peaceful protests and violent demonstrations against law enforcement over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
