Tens of thousands of people crowded streets in Brooklyn Tuesday for the funeral of a grand rabbi, and two NYPD officers were hurt in the process.
Officers were trying to control the massive crowd during the procession from 52nd to 61st streets and 12th to 16th avenues in Borough Park, with some estimating as many as 100,000 mourners in attendance.
Rabbi Yisroel Avrohom Portugal died at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, surrounded by his family, on Monday. He was 95.
