New York, New York

"Occupy Wall Street" protesters mark the movement's two-month milestone by marching from Zuccotti Park, in mass, to various access streets surrounding the New York Stock Exchange, which the police had barricaded off. Yet instead of the police keeping protesters out, protesters locked down those entrances to Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange creating havoc as the police made more then 240 arrests to try and keep the streets open to normal traffic.
Demonstrators block the intersection at Williams Street and Exchange Place to disrupt business as usual on Wall Street while chanting against financial inequality. Police warn them to move or they will be arrested. A group of protesters then sit in the street and are arrested.
