(A) No person shall physically interfere with persons engaged in peaceful picketing in the furtherance of a lawful purpose in the use of the sidewalks or address profane, indecent, abusive or threatening language to or at such pickets which would tend to provoke such pickets or others to engage in conduct which would constitute a breach of the peace.
(B) Police officers may, if persons assemble in such numbers as to tend to intimidate pickets pursuing their lawful objective, through numbers alone or through use of inflammatory words, direct the dispersal of such persons so assembled, and may arrest any person who fails to absent himself or herself from the place of such assemblage when so directed by the police. No person so assembled shall fail to absent himself or herself from such place or to cease and desist from such course of conduct after having been directed by the police to do so.
