Suspect Arrested for Allegedly Pelting NYPD Cops with Snowballs

Gusmane Coulibaly, 27, charged with assault and disorderly conduct after snowballs injured two officers during a social-media-organized fight, police said.

  • This morning, NYPD detectives arrested Gusmane Coulibaly, 27, who goes by the name 'Diaper Man,' at a Bronx apartment and charged him with assault on officers, obstruction, and disorderly conduct after the Washington Square Park incident.
  • A social-media-organized crowd gathered after Sunday’s blizzard, and video of Monday’s pile-on shows people deliberately throwing snowballs at officers in Washington Square Park.
  • Known for staging confrontations, Coulibaly films pranks on his Life of Diaper/YouTube account, was arrested February 6 in an attempted robbery, and cops released images of him holding a small boulder of snow.
  • Two officers were treated at a hospital, and the Police Benevolent Association called the conduct `outrageous` and `unacceptable` while urging DA Bragg to prosecute.
  • Detectives say they are still looking for three other young men pelting officers and asked the public to call Crime Stoppers at 577-TIPS, while Coulibaly is due back March 6.
