New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was loudly booed at a pro-police event in Staten Island on Tuesday, forcing him to leave the stage in under a minute. The hostile reception occurred at the NYPD's National Night Out Against Crime celebration at Midland Beach, attended by thousands. Videos showed attendees shouting for him to leave and giving thumbs-down gestures. Mamdani smiled, thanked officials and artist Scott LoBaido, then exited. Staten Island is NYC's most Republican-leaning borough and voted overwhelmingly against Mamdani in 2025. Separately, activist Scott LoBaido collapsed after attempting to approach the mayor; he was hospitalized and later said he was recovering.
