A joint LGBTQ and Black Lives Matter march in Manhattan on Sunday led to clashes with NYPD cops.
The crowd of hundreds — some of whom carried anti-police-brutality banners and waved rainbow flags — got into confrontations with officers after reaching Washington Square Park in the West Village from downtown Foley Square.
The tensions erupted after officers spotted 29-year-old Brooklyn resident Michael Dunn allegedly vandalizing a marked police car with black marker at about 4:30 p.m., law enforcement sources said.
At one point, a cop appeared to have been pepper-sprayed, and another fell off his motorcycle, as other officers pushed back the crowd, according to video.
Another officer was allegedly punched in the nose by Millen Dang, a 20-year-old from Brooklyn, who was later arrested, sources said.
At least one other protester, 25-year-old Jacob Kruger, of New Jersey, was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer outside the park.






The march was organized by the Reclaim Pride Coalition and called the Queer Liberation March.
It was held the same day the city livestreamed a virtual Pride celebration, to replace its famous annual parade, because of the coronavirus.
