Pro-Palestinian protesters will attempt to disrupt the annual New Year's Eve Ball Drop event in Times Square, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a Tuesday news conference.
“We’re sure there’s gonna be some type of attempt this year… Everyone looks for events like this if they want to do bad things, and the police department is on top of it,” the mayor said at a Tuesday news conference.
While the NYPD said there are no credible threats to the city for New Year's Eve at this time, Adams said it is a priority for the city to avoid any chaos.
The mayor said there have been nearly 500 protests in New York City since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7.
