New York City police clashed with Greenwich Village parkgoers Saturday night while officers tried to enforce Washington Square Park's new 10 p.m. curfew.
The early closure was prompted by complaints of noise, drugs, prostitution, fights and other criminal activity after dark.
The mayor's office put the curfew into effect on Friday night.
Parkgoers refusing to leave after the curfew pushed back against officers who used physical force to try to remove them, videos of social media showed.
