Both incidents happened in the early hours of Saturday morning in Brooklyn.
Demonstrators clashed with officers and torched NYPD vehicles as they called for an end to police brutality after the death of George Floyd.
While many protests were peaceful, some have spiraled into chaos as demonstrations take place across New York City over the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minnesota.
The F-word was scrawled in big red letters on an outside wall around 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
Saturday was the third night New York City saw protests over the death of George Floyd.
Politicians who were present at the rallies say more steps will be taken to change laws.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city will launch an independent review of everything that took place Friday night.
"We have to do work to do still, but we'll get it done by June 8," he said. "We're going to be focusing this next week on the hospital system."
The video shows the officer knocking the woman to the ground, though what led up to the incident is unclear.
"They gave their lives, because we asked them to show up for us and they did. Let's learn from their example. Let's understand what they did," Cuomo said.
Protesters shut down traffic in Lower Manhattan, despite hundreds of NYPD officers trying to keep them on the sidewalks.
"Reopening in New York City is more complicated, as we know. But we are on track to meet all the metrics," Cuomo said.
The mayor was asked what he would tell New Yorkers who don't have a car and don't feel comfortable riding mass transit as the city prepares to reopen.
NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan says detectives are working with the DA's office on the case.
It's a free service he's providing to keep health care workers going.
