Black Lives Matter Demonstrations Stop Traffic On George Washington Bridge
WCBS NewsNEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Demonstrations briefly stopped traffic on the George Washington Bridge on Saturday before protesters ended up outside of the NYPD‘s 34th Precinct in Washington Heights.
The scene was tense and sometimes hostile as the situation quickly escalated between police and protesters, CBS2’s Kiran Dhillon reported.
More than 100 Black Lives Matter protesters were in front of the precinct around 8 p.m. when they say they were confronted by police.
CBS2 overheard police on a loud speaker warning of arrests before officers in riot gear pushed protesters back, yelling, “Move back, move back.”
