NEW YORK — A suspect arrested for felony assault after injuring cops responding to a giant snowball fight in Washington Square Park had his charges downgraded to misdemeanors by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, infuriating police.
Gusmane Coulibaly, 27, was nabbed by police early Thursday after he was identified as one of four men shown in social media video throwing snowballs at police responding to the disorderly crowd in the Greenwich Village park.
