George Floyd protesters were arrested in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday night shortly after the city’s 8 p.m. curfew.
A group of marchers were on the West Side Highway near the entrance to the Battery Tunnel after the curfew went into effect, according to social media footage.
It wasn’t immediately clear what led to the arrests, which according to one witness amount to dozens.
But some protesters got into a brief standoff with the police on the road.
“Why are you yelling at them?” one protester could be heard telling other demonstrators, referring to the police.
