Pro-Palestinian demonstrators climbed over barricades, tossed fake blood and held up New York City’s Pride Parade on Sunday.

About a dozen protesters descended on the annual march as it approached Christopher St. and Waverly Place in Greenwich Village around 2:45 p.m.

They protesters splattered red paint on the route and on a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck inside the barricades, photos show.

The protesters sat in the roadway and refused to let the parade continue as they held signs declaring “no queer liberation without Palestinian liberation” and “Palestine will be free.”

The demonstration erupted about a half block from the historic Stonewall Inn, an iconic landmark and symbol of queer activism and liberation, as well as the end of the parade route.

Police took 10 people into custody and issued seven of them criminal summonses, cops said.

Three others — a 21-year-old woman and two 35-year-old men — were arrested and charges against them were pending Sunday night, they added.

Sunday marked the city’s 54th annual Pride March.
