One group of protesters held Palestinian flags and unfurled a banner that read, "Don't celebrate genocide!" in the middle of the street as the parade led by the Ronald McDonald balloon was coming down Sixth Avenue at West 55th Street.

Protesters can be heard screaming "Free Palestine!" as police broke up the group in video from the scene. The massive crowd that lined the streets to watch the parade could be heard booing the protesters.

It was unclear whether the protesters being removed were arrested. Fox News Digital has reached out to the NYPD for more information.

"I really want to take the moment to tell those grinches that believe they are going to disrupt the parade that it is not going to happen," Adams said during a press conference.

In the Gaza Strip, more than 44,000 people have been killed and more than 104,000 wounded in the 13-month war between Israel and Hamas, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
