On Thursday, just before 11 a.m., around 30 protestors jumped the barricades that ran along Sixth Avenue at West 45th Street. The group, dressed in white jumpsuits covered in fake blood, then glued their hand to the floor of Sixth Avenue.

This demonstration caused disruption to the parade, as floats, bands and balloons were forced to be diverted.   

Additionally, protesters were demanding “Liberation for Palestine and the Climate.” They were also seen carrying a banner that read, “Genocide then. Genocide Now.”

The people involved were removed by the NYPD. They were then placed in custody.
