Several protesters were arrested early Wednesday after scores of Occupy Wall Street demonstrators converged on Union Square Park in Lower Manhattan, the authorities said.
In all, six protesters were taken into custody after the hours-long face-off on a range of charges, including resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration, according to a spokesman for the New York Police Department.
“They were blocking pedestrian traffic,” said the spokesman, who could not provide an estimate of the crowd’s size. “They were given a lawful order to disperse and when they subsequently refused, they were arrested.” The spokesman asked that his name not be used.
