Videos shared online show a female protester having her Palestinian flag snatched away before she is violently shoved to the side. Later videos show her on the ground as she bleeds from the head. Police did not appear to intervene.

Some witnesses posting on social media said she was attacked with a brick.

The woman reportedly took to Instagram, where she identified herself as an anti-Zionist Jew with an Israeli passport, as she displayed the injuries to her face.

“The only thing that gives me some joy is that while all the zios were celebrating and laughing at me im over here thinking yall hit a Jew w. a damn israhelli passport!!! great job," she wrote.

The second female referenced by Adams turned out to be a passerby who lives in the neighbourhood, according to a report in the Associated Press.

She was surrounded by 100 men, all part of the pro-Israel crowd, who threatened to rape her before following her down the street as they chanted, “Death to Arabs,” repeatedly, she told the AP.

    Oof. This is so fucking tragic.

    I’m honestly surprised that Adams would actually investigate crimes committed by an Orthodox mob. That’s his base.

    We’ll see.

      I don’t think they were orthodox. Those guys are generally anti-zionist.

      Also:

      Adams did not specify that the attacks were from a pro-Israel crowd, and repeatedly called them “counter-protesters”.
