Dozens were seen at each location, many bearing signs calling for an end to US military assistance for Israel as they sat on the pavement, hands locked with one another, in protest. Protesters with the “Shut it Down for Palestine” group also rallied in front of the New York Stock Exchange.
Traffic between Brooklyn and Manhattan was largely stalled during the protest. Police made several arrests at the bridges and tunnel, according to multiple media reports.
The New York Police Department said later, Monday morning, that the demonstrators had left all of the locations shortly before noon, but warned commuters to “expect residual delays”.
