The NYPD arrived at the scene between Stanhope and Stockholm streets around 10:25 p.m. after reports of disorderly conduct. Officers found numerous people acting disorderly, obstructing vehicle traffic and blocking emergency entrances and exits to the hospital, police said.
Video from the scene showed groups of people gathering on streets and sidewalks, yelling chants and questioning officers as they patrolled the situation. Nine people were taken into custody after repeated verbal warnings to disperse were made by police. Eight of those people were arrested and charged, while one person was released on a criminal court summons.
