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.
