in Washington Square Park. Police are also criticizing the New York City Mayor's response
to the incident. Here's more on that. The New York City Police Department has released photos
of suspects they say attacked officers with snowballs. It all began as New York City was
coming back to life after a historic snowstorm. Investigators say two NYPD officers were
responding to reports of a disorderly group in Washington Square Park Monday when they were
repeatedly struck in the head, neck, and face. Police say the officers were taken to a nearby
hospital in stable condition and as of Tuesday afternoon no arrests have been made. Video of
the confrontation quickly went viral showing officers being pelted as they walked through
the park. New York City's Mayor Zoran Mamdani's response to the incident is drawing scrutiny.
He urged New Yorkers to treat officers with respect. They and our entire city workforce
deserve to be treated with respect. The only person in our city's workforce who deserves
to be treated with a snowball is me. But also said the videos showed kids just having a snowball
fight. Look I've seen the videos of this snowball fight. I think that it was a snowball fight.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch disagreed calling the behavior criminal and saying
The NYPD police union condemned Mamdani's response calling it a failure of leadership.
The union's president Patrick Hendry saying this was not just a snowball fight this was an assault
by adults that landed two officers in the hospital. Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn also weighed
in on Fox News Tuesday. The city council the mayor speak up support the police stand with law
enforcement and stop trying to make villains out of law enforcement officers and make heroes
out of people that are villains. Police described the suspects as roughly 18 to 20 years old.
They're urging anyone with information on the suspects to come forward.
