(Reuters) - More than 50 anti-Wall Street protesters were arrested on Saturday afternoon after blocking traffic lanes on the Brooklyn Bridge and attempting an unauthorized march across the span, police and witnesses said.

On the second week of protests by the Occupy Wall Street movement, a large group of marchers broke off from others on the bridge's pedestrian walkway and headed across the Brooklyn-bound lanes.

"The numbers of arrests is expected to exceed 50," a police spokesman said.

Multiple warnings had been given to the protesters that if they took to the roadway they would be arrested, he said.
