Occupy Wall Street demonstrators, whose attempts to disrupt the New York Stock Exchange were rebuffed by police, took their protest against income inequality to Union Square and the subway system.
More than 1,000 demonstrators filled the Financial District today near the NYSE and Zuccotti Park, the movement’s symbolic home since protesters began camping there Sept. 17. Metal barricades blocked streets, and workers were asked to show identification to enter. The market opened on time, and transit officials reported no disruptions to subway service.
