Politics: Violence erupts during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's speech in New York

At least three demonstrators were escorted out of the Marriott hotel in New York City Thursday, as Erdogan delivered remarks at an event there.

Another appearance by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan erupted in violence on American soil Thursday, months after Erdogan's security detail was accused of attacking protesters in Washington DC.

At least three demonstrators were escorted out of the Marriott hotel in New York City Thursday, as Erdogan delivered remarks at an event hosted by the Turkish American National Steering Committee.

The disruption lasted minutes and no injuries were reported, The New York Times said.

Videos posted by the social-media account, Turkey Untold, showed a chaotic scene, where suited men intervened when demonstrators began chanting and yelling. It was not immediately clear whether the men were part of Erdogan's security detail or affiliated with another agency.

Similar disruptions unfolded in May when Erdogan met with Trump in Washington DC.

Other video angles captured during that incident appeared to show Erdogan watching from afar as his guards attacked some of the demonstrators. A jury in Washington later indicted 19 people involved in that attack, 15 of whom were identified as Turkish security personnel.
