Police investigating Palestinian flag unfurled on Manhattan Bridge on Wednesday, according to report

Vincent Barone

NEW YORK, N.Y. - In the latest breach of bridge security, activists unfurled a giant pro-Palestinian flag from the Manhattan Bridge on Wednesday afternoon during a march in support for those in Gaza.

NBC New York reports that police are investigating the incident. The breach comes one month after someone scaled the Brooklyn Bridge, replacing the American flag with a faded white version.
