Two uniformed officers were responding to a call about a large, disorderly group in Washington Square Park when two men “intentionally struck the police officers multiple times with snow and ice in the head, neck, and face, causing injuries,” according to the NYPD.

EMS transported officers to Northwell Greenwich Village Hospital in stable condition, and the unidentified men fled the area, officials said.

The incident “looked like kids having a snowball fight,” although a photo released by police showed a man with facial hair carrying a huge snow boulder.

However, NYU spokesman Joseph Terella told Fox News Digital that the university had found no indication that anyone from NYU was involved.

The second man was described as having a “dark complexion” and was last seen wearing a green jacket, with a blue sweatshirt underneath and blue gloves with partial facial hair.

Vallelong added that those who threw snow and ice at officers “crossed a clear line.”

“(Officers) are charged with maintaining public safety in crowded public places, and often face hostility simply for wearing a uniform,” Valelong wrote. “عندما يختار الأفراد تحويل متنزه إلى نقطة انطلاق للهجمات على الشرطة، فإنهم يتجاوزون خطًا واضحًا. اليوم أصبح الأمر بمثابة كرات ثلج. وغدًا قد يكون الأمر عبارة عن حجارة أو زجاجات أو ما هو أسوأ”.
