Police stop Walker protest as crowds disperse in New York
Congregations left Trinity Church at noon without the teague carrollers who were to sing in guard and in prison attire. Police and volunteers destroyed placards by the Walkers and arrested several for disobedience. The procession was diverted from Fifth Avenue to Sixth and Broadway, with factions reaching Bryant Park and Herald Square before police halted further movement. The remnant gathered at the Parish House of Church of the Ascension to discuss protection from police brutality.
