More than 100 firefighters were called to battle the flames shooting out of a sixth floor apartment kitchen near East 171st Street in Grand Concourse. The fire broke out around 4:30 p.m., and neighbors used the fire escape to climb from the smoke-filled units to safety.
Meanwhile, a fiery confrontation was going on outside the building, as tensions rose between heated tenants and police officers called to the scene to help clear the crowds, in order for the firefighters to quickly get in and out of the building.
The fight started as crowds refused to make way as cops demanded they move. Police say a 39-year-old woman ripped an officerâ€s body camera off and threw it to the ground, while another person threw a carton of milk at the cops before running off. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Fi...26971.html
For the life of me, I donâ€t get the point of assaulting LEOs and interfering with the effort to fight a fire.
