A 27-year-old man was arrested on Thursday after New York City police said officers were hurt when they were pelted with snow and ice during a massive snowball fight in Washington Square Park this week.

The New York Police Department said in a brief social media post the man was arrested for “assaulting our officers”. A spokesperson for the department said it did not immediately have additional information, including what the man was charged with.

Information on whether the man had a lawyer was not available following his arrest.

Police said officers arrived at the park after a 911 call about a disorderly group there. A video shows two officers getting bombarded by snowballs as a rowdy crowd shouts and films with their phones. The officers shoved at least two people to the ground as they paced a walkway in the park while getting hit from all directions by snowballs.

The department said multiple officers were hit in the face with snowballs and a spokesperson for the union has said two police officers were treated at a nearby hospital for face, head and neck injuries.
