Chaos erupted at the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters in NYC when NYPD tried to seal a secret tunnel found in the synagogue.
The tunnel, containing items like a mattress and a highchair, led to an abandoned mikveh.
Ultra-Orthodox men rioted, damaging the synagogue and attacking police.
Several were arrested, and the synagogue was temporarily closed.
Chabad's leadership condemned the vandalism and thanked NYPD for handling the situation.
The incident highlighted ongoing legal disputes over control of the synagogue section of the Chabad-Lubavitch building.
