NBC New York has a video of a confrontation between Parks Department officers and a pedicab driver, adding, "There was no shortage of offensive language, so we turned off the audio for you. Merry Christmas!" Some commenters are suggesting conspiracy, saying, "It is the NYC carriage drivers that are harassing them and since the industry has tied with Christine Quinn, they are using the park dept to harass pedicab drivers," and "It was the horse carriage driver who started to harass them and took their pedicab."

Free Williamsburg posted this photograph of some cops restraining someone during Saturday night's Pandamonium. There's also some video of the confrontation and one witness account that questions the force used by the NYPD, "Then a cop grabbed the guy with the boom box by the back of his arm and yanked him into the street, pushing him to the ground and making him [lose] grip of the stereo...The stereo fell, batteries flying everywhere, and when a few of his friends picked it up, a woman cop angrily lunged for the boom box and tried to further dismantle it!" And the folks behind the roving party are "looking 4 footage of arrests 2 help lawyers. Up the pandas f*ck the nypd!"
