Residents of New York City’s “Forgotten Borough” easily remembered how they feel about Mayor Zohran Mamdani, relentlessly booing the Democratic Socialist off stage at a police event, social media videos showed.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mamdani kept a smile plastered on his face<\/a> throughout his brief appearance Tuesday at National Night Out in Midland Beach, Staten Island.<\/p>\n

With about 3,500 people and families on hand at the boardwalk for the 43rd annual event, where police departments nationwide gather with the community for family-oriented events, Mamdani energetically bounded up to the stage \u2014 even as a torrent of anger erupted from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Clips circulating on X and Instagram show the mayor speaking at a podium while those in the crowd yelled, “Booo!”<\/p>\n

“It’s a pleasure to be here,” Mamdani can be heard saying, as beefy NYPD officers appeared to hold back artist and activist <\/a>Scott Lobaido<\/a>, who rushed toward the stage to yell at the mayor, repeatedly pointing his finger at Hizzoner for emphasis before being ushered back.<\/p>\n

Another could be heard on the clip yelling: “Get out of here! Nobody wants you here!”<\/p>\n

Mamdani speaks for under a minute before shaking hands with several people on stage, smiling at the crowd one last time, and quickly leaving.<\/p>\n

The mayor has been a target of conservative ire since his November election, and has earned widespread criticism for his plans, including free NYC grocery stores<\/a> and free buses.<\/p>\n

It was the second brush-off in a matter of days for Mamdani, who was also refused a chance to speak at a funeral for a fallen soldier.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lobaido was later rushed to the hospital in critical condition after going into cardiac arrest at the event, according to SI Live.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Staten Islander is notorious for his various art projects and stunts<\/a>, including an arrest for blocking a speed camera on Staten Island with flowers; placing mock traffic signs with an image of President Donald Trump in silhouette around NYC; and doing a massive balloon release outside Trump’s trial in downtown New York as he faced accusations of paying hush money<\/a> to adult film star Stormy Daniels.<\/p>\n
