The New York City Police Department (NYPD) reported the arrest of at least four individuals following an incident involving pro-Palestinian demonstrators at a ZARA store in New York City on Black Friday. The group reportedly entered the store, creating a disturbance by blowing whistles and displaying a Palestinian flag.

Inside the store, one woman was heard shouting, “They fund the genocide, Free Palestine!” echoing the group’s message.

Another protester loudly accused the fashion retailer of being complicit in genocide, while also disrupting employees with a whistle.

According to NYPD officials who spoke to Fox News Digital, officers were dispatched to the planned protest outside the high-profile ZARA location on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. The event drew approximately 70 demonstrators as part of a Black Friday boycott.
