...Paul J. Browne, a police spokesman, said almost all of those arrested on Wednesday were charged with disorderly conduct, processed through central booking in Manhattan and issued tickets to appear in court. He said that about six demonstrators were issued summonses for less serious violations.
There were no injuries, and no arrests for violence, he said.
“As anticipated, it was not violent and there was some traffic disruption,” Mr. Browne said. “But both the civil disobedience and the resulting arrests were conducted in an orderly fashion.”
