Protesters also chased away two sheriff's deputies who responded to the scene in Borough Park, according to NBC New York.
Members of an Orthodox Jewish community started a bonfire in the middle of a Borough Park, Brooklyn street on Tuesday night, as the community protested a new local lockdown.
As The Times reported, officials have had a hard time getting members of these communities to follow COVID-19 precautions. At one Tuesday night gathering on 13th Avenue, in Borough Park, protesters lit a fire and started throwing cardboard boxes and face masks into the flames, according to NBC New York.
The New York Post reported that at one gathering on 13th Avenue, protesters shut down the street to vehicular traffic and chanted"Jewish Lives Matter." Yeger was among a group of other community leaders who wrote a letter deriding the lockdown decision.
