Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been blasted for fueling anti-cop hate after an unruly mob launched a “disgusting” snowball attack on NYPD officers during Monday’s blizzard — as the Big Apple’s police commissioner launched an investigation into the “criminal” antics.
Agitators were caught on camera wreaking havoc as they hurled huge chunks of snow at police during a massive snowball fight in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park on Monday afternoon.
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and ex-Mayor Eric Adams quickly pointed the finger at Mamdani — blaming his history of anti-police rhetoric for the violent scenes.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is being blasted after a mob launched a “disgusting” snowball attack on the NYPD during a blizzard.
“This is disgraceful. But with a mayor who has a history of calling the police ‘racist, evil, wicked and corrupt,’ he set the tone,” Cuomo said on X as he demanded Mamdani denounce the attack.
