OAKLAND, Calif (Reuters) – Police and protesters scuffled in Northern California on Tuesday as more than 1,000 people marched on city hall in Oakland to voice anger over arrests at an “Occupy Wall Street” camp.

Police surrounded a group of demonstrators on a downtown Oakland street, taking several into custody before setting off what appeared to be a stun grenade to disperse the throng.

The bulk of the crowd headed for city hall, with leaders saying they intended to reclaim Frank Ogawa Plaza, the site of two weeks of protests against economic inequality before police firing beanbags cleared the area before dawn.

At the plaza, police ordered protesters to disperse and were met with some cooperation.
