SourceAn hour or so ago Twitter started to buzz with word of arrests coming from the Occupy Wall Street event located around Zuccotti Park and Trinity Church. In watching live video stream NYPD seems to be pulling random people from the crowd and off the sidewalk and putting them into police vans. They are using mega phones and a large police presence to push the marchers out of the streets. Watch live stream from two sources on the street.http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution
It sounds like 15-20 people have been arrested so far although there are no official numbers from NYPD as of yet.

"The police have effectively flushed people from #Zuccotti. Protesters have disbursed to a park five or six blocks away. #S17 #OWS"
