A massive car parade of Jewish supporters of Donald Trump encountered fierce resistance in New York City, with counter-protesters throwing projectiles at cars and trading punches with conservative protesters.
The cars, many of which carried American, Israeli and pro-Trump flags, all crossed the Brooklyn Bridge and at one point passed the Trump Tower, honking their horns repeatedly as they passed the building.

Journalists at the scene said the lines of vehicles may have stretched for several kilometers.
It’s not Pensacola or even Pennsylvania. It’s only 10 seconds of a parade of Trump cars on NEW YORK CITY’s FDR Drive that stretched miles from Midtown to the Brooklyn Bridge. Incredible enthusiasm for @realDonaldTrump ???????? pic.twitter.com/CqZ92bMMJj

While many appear to have gathered in the streets to applaud the effort, some have expressed their opposition by hurling projectiles at vehicles.
In one video, a counter-protester can be seen throwing what is described as “Rocks” from a bridge under which pro-Trump vehicles travel. It does not appear to have caused any damage, however.

Things got more violent in Manhattan, where anti-Trump protesters began ripping traffic signs from vehicles and spraying them with paint. The situation evolved from there, several pro-Trump protesters clashed violently with counter-protesters and brawled in the streets.
Police can also be seen ordering counter-protesters to disperse. They detained a large number of people.

Other New York videos show liberals yelling at cars as they cross the Brooklyn Bridge, and another again shows a cyclist hitting the window of a vehicle, but causing no damage.
This man is so upset that a #JewsForTrump convoy of vehicles practically closed the Brooklyn Bridge on its way to Manhattan, which it began to hit vehicles. @NYPDnews @realDonaldTrump @TrumpWarRoom pic.twitter.com/6kSZKUoa0F
