New York police have not yet revealed exactly how many people were taken into custody on Friday night near the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Manhattan. NBC New York.

In the video, you can see how officers lead detained demonstrators to police vans - the protesters walk calmly, holding their hands behind their backs. Most likely, they will be accused of hooliganism and blocking traffic.
