The anti-Israel activists marched toward the pro-Israel rally, chanting and yelling at the pro-Israel activists. Some stole Israeli flags from some of the pro-Israel activists.
The anti-Israel activists then moved back to their side of the barrier, where they later chanted: “Nazis! Nazis!” at the Israel supporters.
After demonstrators threw projectiles, police removed the barricade and proceeded to arrest several anti-Israel activists. Police declared that the “assembly is unlawful” and demanded the crowd disperse or be arrested. Despite police warnings, some rioters reportedly continued to throw projectiles at police, while others fled the scene.
The police proceeded to arrest [00:03:34] several anti-Israel activists, while Awawdeh fled [00:03:52] the scene.
In video footage of the event, Awawdeh can be seen [00:03:52] center-left in the upper middle part of the screen starting to run with his crutch, located beside two NYPD police officers to his left, wearing white shirts.
Police used bicycles to both disperse the rioters and pursue a number of them. Some rioters overturned [00:12:02] police barricades to create obstacles in the street. Others threw [00:14:16] garbage bags filled with trash onto the street, while still others dragged [00:14:37] traffic barriers onto the street and overturned [00:14:40] fencing.
As police and passersby then tended [00:00:34] to an injured person lying on the ground, anti-Israel activists drove [00:00:19] and walked by shouting abuse from their car windows, while others on the street pushed [00:00:37] people and yelled [00:00:48]: “F**k the Zionists, f**k you!”
Awawdeh then returned on foot [00:01:41] to the scene of the crime, engaging with other keffiyeh-masked anti-Israel activists and screamed: “You’re the gangster, you're the gangster” and then departed the scene.
Awawdeh later fell [00:13:47] over while running with his crutch from the police, who arrested [00:14:11] him when they caught up and found him.

Awawdeh also chanted [00:22:35]: “be-ruh be-dam nifdik ya Aqsa!” while thrusting his crutch in the air atop the elevated platform.
