At least three NYPD officers were injured by protesters in Brooklyn on Wednesday after an individual hit them in the head with a cane.
Footage uploaded to the NYPD News Twitter account shows a scuffle taking place when an assailant rushes forward and begins striking officers with a walking stick.

The city’s top cop, Chief of Department Terence Monahan, was also injured during the Brooklyn Bridge protest.
Monahan suffered a broken finger after being hit by an object.
Ironically, Monahan made headlines last month when he took a knee in solidarity with the same unruly demonstrators who just assaulted him and his fellow officers.
