The Brooklyn Bridge was temporarily closed Monday as hundreds of pro-Palestinian protestors marched across the iconic span.
The swarm of demonstrators shut down both lanes of the bridge as they trekked into Brooklyn around 3:30 p.m., video posted to X shows.
Some protestors burned sparklers as NYPD officers on bicycles pedaled toward them.
Dozens of people were arrested on the bridge as a Department of Correction bus waited at the bottom of the Brooklyn side of the bridge to transport detainees.
“The are killing my family and now they are arresting me,” said a woman who identified as Palestinian as she was led away in handcuffs.
Drivers were urged to use alternate routes and to expect delays in the area as the protest continued on Monday afternoon.
