NYC anti-war protest turns violent: Streets shut down after 100 arrested outside Senators’ offices

Tensions spilled onto the streets of New York City as anti-war protesters staged a major demonstration outside the offices of U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. More than 300 demonstrators gathered in Midtown Manhattan, calling for an end to U.S. weapons support to Israel. Holding signs reading 'Fund People, Not Bombs' and 'Stop Arming Israel', protesters initially staged a sit-in before moving onto Third Avenue, blocking traffic and prompting police action.
