Hundreds of protesters clashed with police after storming Grand Central Station to demand a ceasefire in the Middle East.
Members of Jewish Voice for Peace said they were staging a “historic sit-in” in the main hall of the iconic Manhattan train station.
Protesters could be heard shouting: “No more guns, no more war.” “Ceasefire is what we are fighting for.”
Footage has also emerged on social media showing a large crowd attempting to enter the station but being held back by NYPD officers.
