In New York City, train service at Grand Central Terminal was temporarily suspended due to the chaos and vandalism caused by pro-Palestinian protesters who intended to "flood Manhattan for Gaza." A post by Within Our Lifetime and the City University of New York for Palestine read as follows:
Videos spread on social media showing protesters carrying Palestinian flags violently hitting and kicking the doors of the station while trying to force entry and breaking windows while police were inside the facility.
Another video shows a protester removing American flags hanging from a street light pole. This person was later arrested.
More than 1,000 people took part in the protest marching through the streets of Manhattan. According to Fox, "some were seen tearing down posters of hostages held by Hamas terrorists and shredding them while other protesters burned an Israeli flag."
