During a pro-Palestine march in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday, a large group of protestors attacked a pair of men who were carrying an Israeli flag.
Video shows the group of pro-Palestine activists clashing with the two Israel supporters in front of the Third Avenue location of Ess-A-Bagel, just blocks from the United Nations Headquarters, with police attempting to reign in the attacks.
One of the two Jewish men attempts to say something to the large group of protestors while the other begins to confront the crowd, when someone from the pro-Palestinian side throws a large bottle just past his head and the scene devolves into a barrage of punches.

As they move further up the street, the crowd of pro-Palestinian protestors continues to throw bottles and break through police to throw more punches at the two men.
One officer is heard telling the group "get back, stop. Let it go right now."
Police separate the two men from the large group, and appear to take at least one of the two into custody.
