One of the Angels sustained injuries so severe he lost sight one eye.
The group formed in 1979, is an unarmed civilian patrol group that started out keeping an eye on subway trains during an era when New York City had a high crime rate.
Now, as part of that role, they have in the past often accompanied protests, keeping the demonstrators safe and dealing with any outside instigators or looters.
