NYPD Arrests “Proud Boys” over Attack on Antifa Protesters

HeadlineOct 24, 2018

In New York City, five of the nine members of the far-right group “Proud Boys” targeted by the NYPD for attacking people on a Manhattan street, have been arrested on rioting and assault charges. The arrests follow the October 12 street attack in which dozens of members of the group were caught on camera physically assaulting anti-fascist protesters after attending a talk by leader Gavin McInnes at the nearby Metropolitan Republican Club. The NYPD was sharply criticized following the attack for failing to arrest anyone at the time.
