At least seven individuals have been arrested during Adbusters’ ongoing Occupy Wall Street protest, one for wearing the “V” mask used by hacker collective Anonymous.
The arrests were initially reported by Bloomberg. In its report the news agency alleged that by the end of the protest’s third day New York City Police had arrested as many as seven individuals. The exact reasons for the arrests remains vague and conflicting reports have since emerged suggesting different motivations.
According to Bloomberg four protesters were arrested Monday for wearing masks — New York law forbids more than two individuals wearing masks in a public space at any one time during a protest. The fifth protester was reportedly arrested for jumping a police barrier, while the sixth and seventh were detained for attempting to enter a building used by Bank of America Corp while wearing masks.
