A march for racial justice Friday night turned ugly as hundreds of protesters converged on Union Square and frightened crowds of shoppers by banging violently on windows and tossing bottles at police.
Shopkeepers lowered metal gates to protect their entries while shoppers with children dashed inside the giant Macy’s store and cowered behind locked doors. Some protesters tried to smash shop windows and screamed at police, while others threw objects including bottles at officers.
Several families ran from the protest area while hundreds crowded behind police lines at Union Square’s ice rink. An activist spray painted “F T P” (F—The Police) on an Apple Store, watched by dozens of wide-eyed shoppers huddled inside.
“So stupid. It isn’t really smart,” said one woman, shopping bag in hand, as she cowered from the fracas. Her family quickly shushed her, telling her not to give her name.
