At least 32 people were taken into custody in New York City during overnight protests in the wake of the Philadelphia police-involved shooting death of Wayne Wallace Jr., officials said Wednesday.

Five people received summonses and 27 others were arrested on charges of assault on a police officer, obstruction of government administration, possession of graffiti instruments and disorderly conduct, a New York Police Department spokesperson said in an email to Fox News.

Five police officers suffered minor injuries while responding to the civil unrest in the Big Apple, the spokesperson said.
