NEW YORK - An animal rights activist allegedly punched two horse carriage drivers in Central Park and struck one of them with a skateboard, according to a Fox News report. The outlet identified the woman as Abigail Holbrook. The report's headline attributes the account to a union.
According to Fox News, Holbrook was "screaming about animal abuse" before the attacks, which the headline describes as occurring during a tirade. The report uses the word allegedly for the punches and the skateboard strike, and the material available for this story does not include any response from Holbrook.
The Fox News report does not name the union or say what it told the outlet beyond the events described. It also does not say whether Holbrook has been charged, whether police responded, or whether any driver was hurt. No police statement, court record, or other source is cited in the material provided for this story.
Fox News places the incident in Central Park, and its headline refers to New York City, which is the only location information in the material. The report does not describe the carriages, the drivers' employer, or the setting beyond the park name. Neither the report nor its headline gives a time for the incident, and this story does not supply one.
The story rests on a single report. No other outlet's coverage was included in the material reviewed for this article. The Fox News report lists no byline and was published on November 13, 2026.
