Rioters ‘Overrun’ Police Precinct In New York City, Another ‘Under Siege’

Violent rioters reportedly stormed a police precinct in New York City on Friday and lit law enforcement vehicles on fire.
CNN senior law enforcement analyst James Gagliano tweeted: “NYPD source informs me 88 Pct in Brooklyn just been overrun. Police Commissioner Shea has called a Level 3 mobilization. Requires all special units respond and four cars from every command in the city to location. 84 Pct under siege, as well. Also, Brooklyn North.”
Gagliano also shared a photograph of a police van that was lit on fire.
A local reporter, whose tweets were promoted by Gagliano, wrote: “Major confrontation between protesters and cops at NYPD’s 88 Pct station house in Brooklyn now. NYPD issues level 3 mobilization, summoning 4 patrol cars from commands citywide to Brooklyn to deal with the unrest.”
