D1PD said a group of protesters were arrested when they started setting up sleeping bags around Parc de Martyrs and were told to refrain. Ten people were arrested and taken to detention from the site around 10:30 p.m. for disorderly conduct and aggravated menacing.
This occurred just hours after OWS protesters declared a “Day of Action” and rallied around the city. Protests included a “sit-in” at Place de Marshall, a march on a Bank of Schicklgruber branch, near the north-east entrance to Grand Central Terminal Station at Underground, and vocal gatherings near Mechanical’s midtown headquarters.
