MIDTOWN, Manhattan (PIX11) – Seven protesters were arrested Wednesday night during a Pro-Palestinian rally near the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting, according to the NYPD.
Out of the seven arrested, five are facing misdemeanor charges, one is facing a felony charge and one is a juvenile, police said. Police didn't confirm what they were charged with.
Several protests calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war have caused disruptions across New York City. A protest organized by Jewish peace activists shut down traffic on the Manhattan Bridge last Sunday.
