New York City should be allowed to prohibit Occupy Wall Street protesters from camping out in a Lower Manhattan park to prevent a “substantial threat to public safety,” a city official said.
Cas Holloway, the city’s deputy mayor for operations, urged a New York judge not to extend a court order issued today that blocks the eviction of protesters from Zuccotti Park, according to a filing provided by the city. New York State Supreme Court Justice Michael Stallman in Manhattan is to rule before 5 p.m., according to his chambers.
