He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, arraigned, and was later released.
In all police arrested five people during the weekend, including Fellows, a protester who threw liquid in a cop’s face and another alleged groper for attacking a woman, cops said today.
On Saturday, Zach Breur, 22, allegedly groped the breasts and buttocks of a 22-year-old woman. He was charged with two counts of forcible touching.
And a homeless man cops id’d as Michael Doe was busted at 5:37 p.m. the same day and charged with criminal mischef after he was spotted tampering with Christmas lights at the park.
The mayhem continued yesterday, when a 52-year-old homeless man was collared after he allegedly threw an unknown liquid into a cop’s face about 11:40 a.m. EMTs flushed the officer’s eyes with water and he did not need to go to the hospital.
