佔領華爾街抗議者與警察對峙

Protests in New York City are intensifying as hundreds of anti-capitalist demonstrators push back against police and dismantle barriers around Wall Street. The Occupy Wall Street protesters have promised a major show of strength Thursday on the two-month anniversary of their movement. Demonstrators have vowed to shut down the city's financial district with a rally at the New York Stock Exchange. As the situation escalated, several protesters could be seen being arrested.

The latest development comes two days after the city evicted protesters from Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan, where they had been camping since September. They were allowed to return to the public space, but were prohibited from camping. The protesters say they plan to take Thursday's demonstration to the city's subways and major bridges. New York Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson told reporters Wednesday the city was preparing for a crowd of "tens of thousands."紐約市的抗議活動愈演愈烈。數百名的不滿美國金融資本主義的示威者在華爾街附近與警察發生對峙。一些警方設置的路障被抗議者拆除。抗議者在紐約市集會，以大規模抗議活動紀念已進行了兩個月的佔領華爾街運動，誓言要癱瘓紐約金融區。隨着局勢升級，人們能看到，數名抗議者被捕。

兩天前，紐約市政府將抗議者從曼哈頓下城的祖科蒂公園驅逐出去。這些抗議者自從9月以來就在祖科蒂公園露營。他們目前被允許返回這個公共場所，但被禁止露營。抗議者說，他們計劃將星期四的示威活動擴展到紐約的地鐵和主要橋樑路段。紐約市副市長霍華德.沃爾夫森星期三對記者說，正在準備應對“數萬”名集會者。
