NYPD officials attacked, bloodied at Brooklyn Bridge police-brutality protests

Video tweeted out by the NYPD Tuesday appears to show a protester on the Brooklyn Bridge use a stick like a baton to whack police officers over the head.

The scuffle came as scores of men and women marched across the bridge to protest police brutality — protests that have raged across the country all summer.

Photos of the bloodied police officials were also posted on Twitter.

The city’s top uniformed cop — Chief Terence Monahan — was injured at the same protest and was treated at the scene for a hand injury after a clash with a group of protesters, cops said.

At least two cops suffered serious injuries.
