Six people were arrested during the raucous anti-Israel protest at Grand Central Terminal in which hundreds called for the elimination of the Jewish state.
Three of the six arrested protesters — two men and one woman — were taken into custody and issued summonses for disorderly conduct, police said. One protester was a young teen and charged as a juvenile with reckless endangerment, cops said.
Raymund Garcia, 34, of Queens was charged with assaulting a police officer, firefighter and EMT, and resisting arrest, an NYPD spokesman said. In addition, Al’tariq Calderone-Graves, 28, of Newark, was charged with obstructing government administration, police said.
Both men were collared at 9:20 p.m. on the northeast corner of East 43rd Street and Lexington Avenue, the NYPD said.

The hate-mongers stormed the transit hub as part of a “Flood Manhattan for Gaza” protest that initially converged on Columbus Circle earlier in the evening, where they set fire to an Israeli flag and taunted a small faction of counter-demonstrators before marching through Manhattan and splattering fake blood on the New York Times building.
