Amid a mostly peaceful march and protest in New York City after the announcement of the grand jury’s decision in the killing of Michael Brown, at least one protester hurled a red liquid at Police Commissioner Bill Bratton in Times Square, according to several accounts.
Photos circulating on Twitter show Bratton with some streaks of red on his face, but another man — likely a plainclothes police official in Bratton’s entourage — appeared to have taken the brunt of the tossed liquid, which resembled blood, according to Fox 5’s Stacey Delikat.
Police officers scrambled to take the liquid-tosser into custody while other officers escorted Bratton away from the scene.
