In a startling incident on the Upper East Side, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen found himself in a tense confrontation with a woman who was tearing down flyers related to missing Israeli hostages. The exchange, reported by the NY Post, unfolded on Park Avenue at the corner of 61st street, exposing a heated encounter between Cohen and the unidentified woman.
The woman, mistakenly identifying Cohen as hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen, responded aggressively when questioned about her actions, labeling Cohen as a “freak” and asserting that he should be in jail. In response, Cohen expressed shock at what he described as a “racist, antisemitic curmudgeon” actively dismantling missing-child posters. Cohen, determined to hold the woman accountable, shared details of the incident, including a photograph of the woman, with The Post.
“THIS IS ILLEGAL. TURN IT ON YOURSELF, FREAK. YOU SHOULD BE IN JAIL,” the woman shot back during the confrontation.

Cohen, a prominent figure due to his association with Donald Trump and his involvement in Trump’s civil fraud trial, emphasized the inappropriate nature of the woman’s actions. He condemned her behavior, stating that there is no place for individuals with such attitudes in civilized society.
This incident adds a new dimension to Cohen’s public interactions, especially as he contemplates a primary challenge against Rep. Jerry Nadler. It underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding various political and social issues, further highlighting the challenges public figures face in the current political climate.
In a broader context, recent events have seen the arrest of two 18-year-olds for tearing down flyers on private property, suggesting a potential trend of such incidents.
