New York: Police in New York have arrested over 70 Anti-Wall Street protesters while one was injured during clash between security forces and marchers.
The protesters are angry that the major stockholders of the banks are enjoying booming profits after getting bailouts in 2008, while most US citizens are struggling in a difficult economy with more than 9 percent unemployment and little help from Washington.
In the United States, protesters took to the streets of cities from Washington, Boston and Chicago to Los Angeles, Miami, and Toronto.
Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, demonstrations were held in Rome, Portugal and Greece also.
Meanwhile, over 1,000 people staged a protest in London’s financial district but were prevented by police from reaching the Stock Exchange, and five arrests were made.
Protests were also held in a number of cities across Asia.
