An internal NYPD alert warned officers of containers of hardened concrete resembling “chocolate chip ice cream” found near the scene of a recent George Floyd protest in Lower Manhattan.
Three containers of the alleged hard serve — poured into what appear to be to-go coffee and soup cups and flecked with darker-colored spots — were found sitting on a window ledge near the Worth Street entrance to Manhattan Supreme Court on June 3, according to the memo obtained by The Post.
“The Cups were filled with cement and made to look like CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM,” the alert read in part.
The containers were discovered following one of the several area protests demanding justice for Floyd, a black man killed May 25 when a white Minneapolis cop kneeled on his neck.
The cups, which have markings on the outside, also resemble concrete sample tests commonly used on construction sites.
There were no immediate reports of the improvised weapons being used against cops, but the NYPD was nevertheless ordered to be on guard for them.
While the protests have been largely peaceful, looters and anarchists have at times used them as cover to steal, vandalize and assault the police, officials have said.
The department has also warned of concrete-filled tennis balls and water bottles, and Commissioner Dermot Shea has said — without providing evidence — that looters are strategically stashing bricks prior to protests.
