Police arrested 70 protesters at New York’s Zuccotti Park early Tuesday, including some who chained themselves together, while clearing the park so that sanitation crews could clean it.
Protesters will be allowed to return, without sleeping bags, tents and tarps. Businesses have complained the Occupy Streets protesters are disrupting their local, small business operations.
Zuccotti Park, Broadway & Liberty Street, is about one block west of the Federal Reserve Bank New York and about one block southeast of the National September 11 Memorial and the World Trade Center. One protester interviewed vowed that protesters would return with more people and more occupations.
