Demonstrators clashed with officers and torched NYPD vehicles as they called for an end to police brutality after the death of George Floyd.

The NYPD says at least 345 people were arrested during Saturday night protests, with 47 NYPD vehicles damaged and 33 officers injured.

Protests took place across the city Saturday and today.

After a woman allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail into a police squad car in Brooklyn, she was charged  with attempted murder.

In Manhattan's peaceful Union Square, protesters turned violent after a video circulated online showing an NYPD SUV ramming into a group of protesters in Brooklyn.

Mayor Bill de Blasio  at a briefing today said that :

<em><strong>“NYPD showed tremendous restraint overall," </strong></em>but he was concerned about video showing two police cruisers lurching into a crowd of demonstrators on a Brooklyn street.

And NYC Mayor added that:

<strong><em> “We all better get back to the humanity here, The protesters are human beings. They need to be treated with tremendous respect. The police officers are human beings. They need to be treated with tremendous respect.”</em></strong>
