MANHATTAN - A protestor who apparently took part in a large Pro-Palestine protest near police headquarters is being sought for hitting an officer in the head with a bottle, the NYPD said. 


At around 9:15 pm on March 8, cops tried to disperse a disorderly group in the rear of One Police Plaza. As cops tried to disperse the crowd, a woman threw a bottle striking a police officer in the head, the NYPD said. 


The officer suffered minor injuries and was treated at a local hospital. 


The suspect fled on foot but her image was caught on street surveillance video. 


Published reports claim the suspect was part of a group that splintered off from the larger pro-Palestinian protest on Park Row and Pearl Street, not far from police headquarters. 


The video also shows the suspect apparently wearing the black-and-white keffiyeh around her neck - a symbol of support for the Palestinian cause. 


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 


All calls are strictly confidential.
