Associated Press

   NEW YORK - Several New York City police officers were attacked and
   injured Wednesday as pro-police and anti-police protesters clashed on
   the Brooklyn Bridge.

   At least four officers were hurt, including Chief of Department Terence
   Monahan, and 37 people were arrested, police said. Information on
   charges was not immediately available.

   Surveillance video posted on social media by the police department
   showed a man on the bridge's pedestrian walkway rushing toward a group
   of officers and reaching over a fence to bash their heads with a cane.
