De Blasio fired back at Trump, saying crime has dropped in New York City "and it’s not just because you finally left town."

Chief Terrence Monahan of the New York Police Department (NYPD) said Wednesday that “multiple” arrests were made over the incidents both at the scenes and in the days following.

Multiple arrests have already been made regarding the incidents of water being thrown on officers. The NYPD will NEVER tolerate illegal behavior like this. Our cops will arrest you.

One of the videos that went viral shows two officers being doused with water and hit by empty buckets while making an arrest in Harlem. Another shows two officers in Brooklyn being drenched with thrown water as they walk away from a small crowd.

De Blasio has come out swinging against the instances, calling them “completely unacceptable” and saying the NYPD is investigating.

“Completely unacceptable. A video from the 28 Precinct shows people interfering in an arrest by throwing water and objects at officers. The NYPD kept New Yorkers safe through the heatwave and last night's outages. We won't tolerate this kind of disrespect. NYPD is investigating,” he tweeted earlier this week, citing a widespread power outage and heat wave that hit the city.
