Police on Sunday said 19 people were busted during the massive anti-Israel rally in Brooklyn where thousands of rowdy demonstrators clashed with cops.
According to the NYPD, 16 protesters were arrested and issued criminal court summonses, while three others were taken into custody and released on desk appearance tickets.
The “Flood Brooklyn for Palestine” protest on Saturday shut down traffic in Bay Ridge for hours as the NYPD struggled to contain the mob, which lobbed eggs at cops and lit fires in the street while waving Palestinian flags.
One young protester was seen trying to keep cops from pulling away a woman holding a “Zionism is Genocide” sign.
A law enforcement source described it as “pretty heated.”
The unrest in Bay Ridge — which boasts a substantial Arab-American population — is just the latest in a string of protests following the Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists that killed more than 1,400 Israelis.
Most of those killed in the sneak attack were civilians, including at a kibbutz near the Gaza border and at a rave where revelers were gunned down by the militants.
Israel’s retaliatory strikes in the Gaza Strip have sparked further protests in the Big Apple and beyond.
“We are not like other groups simply calling for a cease-fire,” one protester said at Saturday’s demonstration. “We are calling not simply for an end to genocide. We are calling for an end to the siege, an end to the blockade. And end to the occupation.”
City Councilman Ari Kagan lambasted the demonstration, calling it “shameless.”

“This was not a rally for a two-state solution or for the liberation of Gaza from Hamas or [a] public all to free hundreds of kidnapped Israelis and Americans,” Kagan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“It was a shameful pro-Hamas & anti-Israel rally that I strongly condemn.”
The raucous rally came one day after nearly 200 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested for blocking traffic in Manhattan at a demonstration sponsored by the Democratic Socialists of America.
One demonstrator at a rally in Midtown Manhattan earlier this month flashed a swastika.
