Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters in NYC shut down Manhattan Bridge
NY Post
Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters took over the Manhattan Bridge Saturday night, initially blowing off cops who tried to set up barricades to block their paths.
Demonstrators blocked vehicles on the bridge’s upper level, stalling traffic, according to images posted on X.
The demonstrators initially gathered near Brooklyn’s Barclays Center before heading northwest onto the bridge and into Manhattan, according to reports.
They linked arms and slowly marched across the span, chanting, “We don’t want your f–king war,” according to one X post, while cops gathered on the Manhattan side, eventually meeting the group and trying to round them up.
Some of the protesters, as well as journalists on hand reporting on the demonstration, were taken into custody.
The NYPD could not immediately confirm how many were arrested.
