Eight protesters were arrested at Trump Tower Wednesday night, as NYPD officers were advised to be on alert for potential unrest.
One restaurant owner said he got a call at 4 a.m. and arrived to find his basement submerged with water.
He had food items, his office, and the boiler down there, and everything destroyed. He said he has insurance but is unclear if a flood is covered.
He says his restaurant was already takeout and delivery only due to the pandemic, and now he has no idea when he'll be able to reopen.
Crews with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection arrived on the scene and began working to shut off water in the area.
