A crowd led by the Occupy Wall Street movement attempted to stop the trading protesting against “corporate greed and economic inequality.”

The New York police arrested today at least a hundred activists of Occupy Wall Street, who participated in a protest that drew thousands of protesters in the financial center.

Attorney Gideon Orion Oliver, president of the New York section of the National League Association, reported via Twitter that the number of prisoners was 104 at 11.30 (12.30 to Argentina).

The arrests occurred when security forces evicted access to New York Stock Exchange, appropriated the BBC news channel on its website.

There were also several attempts to cut the streets around the stock market, but police intervened to disperse the activists.
