The OWS movement has moved across the world and now, in Times Square, the police have begun setting up barricades to keep the protesters within certain areas. The sidewalks are packed and the people are cheering.
As Reported By The NY POST:
Police, some in riot gear and mounted on horses, tried to push them out of the square and onto the sidewalks in an attempt to funnel the crowds away.
Sandy Peterson of Salt Lake City, who was in Times Square after seeing “The Book of Mormon” musical on Broadway, got caught up in the disorder.
“We’re getting out of here before this gets ugly,” she said.
Sandra Fox, 69, of Baton Rouge, La., stood, confused, on 46th Street with a ticket for “Anything Goes” in her hand as riot police pushed a knot of about 200 shouting protesters toward her.
“I think it’s horrible what they’re doing,” she said of the protesters. “These people need to go get jobs.”
Police arrested 42 protesters at Times Square, but cops appeared eager to avoid a confrontation.
