The High-Priced #SEIU Union Rep Charged With Attacking a Cop in NYC Protest According to the police, a protester on the bridge—since identified as City College Prof. Eric Linsker—picked up a metal trash can to throw onto a lower roadway where both police and demonstrators were standing. When two NYPD lieutenants intervened, police say Linsker put the trash can down but resisted arrest. The officers say they were then attacked by protesters trying to prevent Linsker’s arrest. Both officers involved, Lt. Patrick Sullivan and Lt. Phillip Chan, received cuts and bruises, while Chan also suffered a broken nose. Linsker initially escaped after the clash on the bridge but was arrested a short time later. In his backpack, which police say he dropped before fleeing, they recovered three hammers in plastic wrapping.
