As several hundred demonstrators swarmed into Manhattan’s financial district Thursday morning, police in riot gear met them with drawn batons and metal barricades. Police corralled the protesters on the sidewalk and cordoned off the entire area, making it difficult if not impossible for many workers in the area to get into their buildings...Around 2 pm, police closed off Zuccotti Park, preventing protesters from exiting or entering...Police pushed some protesters to the ground, and seriously injured at least one demonstrator...in the process of retaking the park.
