According to Fox news

At least 57 people were charged with crimes during demonstrations in New York City late Wednesday into Thursday – including two people who punched officers, and a woman who spat in a cop’s face, officials and sources told Fox News.

Protesters in New York City, as well as other parts of the country, have taken to the streets as the 2020 presidential election remains undecided. Of the 57 people accused of committing crimes in the Big Apple, 25 people were arrested, while 32 were issued summonses, a New York City Police Department spokesperson said in an email to Fox News.

The 25 people arrested included three people who allegedly punched or spat at police, and a fourth person who smashed the windows of a commercial building, police said. All four were taken into custody in Manhattan.

Devina Singh spat “directly into” a sergeant’s face after he ordered her to move back while she screamed at him, “F— you, fascist,” a police source confirmed to Fox News. Singh, a 24-year-old Schwenksville, Pa., woman, was charged with obstruction of government administration, harassment and a violation of local law, police said.
