Thousands of anti-Wall Street protesters gathered in New York City’s Times Square on Saturday, supported by a global day of demonstrations.
People demonstrated against corporate greed and economic inequality in Asia, Europe and Canada. In the United States, protesters also took the streets in Washingtin, Boston, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles.
In New York, where the movement began with protesters setting up a camp in the now famous Zuccotti Park on September 17, organizers said the protest grew to at least 5,000 people as they marched to Times Square from their headquarters.
The protesters mixed with gawkers, theatergoers, tourists and police to create a chaotic scene in the midst of Manhattan.
