WATCH: Occupy Wall Street goes to Times Square

The Occupy Wall Street movement made its way to Times Square in New York City this afternoon, as part of the global October 15 protests happening in 951 cities around the world. The energy was extremely high, as was the organization of the NY Police, who kept the “99%” highly contained in several blocs throughout the square and reportedly arrested around 40 protestors by the time the rally was over
