October 2, 2011

One of the economic heart of the United States, Wall Street, New York, was rocked by a grand demonstration in three days. New York City police arrested more than 700 protesters when they scattered on the Brooklyn Bridge and jam up traffic for several hours yesterday (Saturday afternoon local time).

The group calling itself occupy Wall Street (Seize Wall Street) had been camped outside a plaza in the Financial District of Manhattan for nearly two weeks. They held a wide parade before moving. Uproar among the masses and the security officers who guard the inevitable. The majority of the arrested threatened violation of the rules section, the rest for refusing to arrest.

“More than 700 arrest warrants issued in connection with a demonstration at the Brooklyn Bridge, after several warnings by the police quoted the demonstrators to remain in the path of pedestrians. Those who violate arrested,” said a police official. Some people docile and remained on the sidewalk and not arrested, but the others desperate. As a result, traffic jams in Brooklyn. The bridge reopened to traffic at 8 pm.

The eyewitnesses said, the chaotic scenes at the famous suspension bridge that occur when hundreds of protesters surrounded the officers used orange nets. Witnesses and organizers said some protesters tried to escape when police began to arrest them. Within minutes, dozens of protesters were handcuffed and transported in three buses.
