STORY: Several hundred Occupy Wall Street protesters took to the streets of downtown Manhattan again on Friday in a weekly march which sees the group make its way from its designated gathering point of Zuccotti Park, dubbed by the group "Liberty Square", to the New York Stock Exchange.
The march was relatively peaceful, but that didn't stop a handful of protesters from being arrested for ignoring police orders to keep clear of certain public areas.
The march comes just four days ahead of May Day when the Occupy Wall Street group plans to launch a "Day of Action". The group is hoping to mobilize tens of thousands of people across Manhattan under the slogan, "General Strike. No Work. No Shopping. Occupy Everywhere".
