The New York City Police Department said the first 911 call came at 11:46 a.m. Saturday. When officers arrived, they found more than 100 people in the street, blocking exits and throwing garbage. Protesters ignored repeated orders to disperse, and several individuals were taken into custody, according to a police spokeswoman.
