No it was Tompkins. My dad lived in the East Village in the '80's when I was a teen. My sister and I weren't allowed to cross 1st Ave because of how bad Tompkins was then.

Tompkins is just living up to its old name Needle Park. Who remembers that?

Since there is a large number of Chinese students at Columbia and there is a China police station in Chinatown I would bet that a Chinese police officer infiltrated the protest and did this.
