The New York City Police Department detained two people on Saturday in response to a chaotic clash between a group of anti-Muslim demonstrators and counterprotesters near Gracie Mansion.

Lang’s Saturday anti-Islam protest convened around noon in front of the residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the first Muslim mayor of the Big Apple.
