Multiple NYPD officers were hit during a pre-planned snowball fight in Washington Square Park. The officers were not there as participants, however. They were responding to a 911 call related to it just before 4:15 p.m. The snowball fight was coordinated on social media and drew a large crowd, and was similar to one that took place during the last big snowstorm just weeks ago. This time around, however, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said some participants went too far. "I want to be very clear," Tisch wrote on social media. "The behavior depicted is disgraceful, and it is criminal. Our detectives are investigating this matter." No major injuries were reported, but police said two officers took themselves in for treatment. I1WfxzvhuKj Lfbxd1bcnfI Uvy32tgT35n TJ9C1gHqElM N5NQ4ntkBAN KYB6FlMq4ae L4POn8DUvN0
