PHOENIX (AP) — Police have made arrests following anti-Wall Street protests in Phoenix and Tucson.
Reporters and protesters saw an estimated 40 people detained around midnight Saturday at Margaret T. Hance Park just north of downtown Phoenix.
Officers there declined to comment, and official spokesmen did not immediately return calls.
The arrests came hours after anti-Wall Street protesters gathered in the two Arizona cities as part of a series of protests across the country against financial institutions.
In Tucson, about 100 miles southeast of Phoenix, some protesters were arrested after they remained in Military Plaza Park after the 10:30 p.m. closing time, police spokesman Matt Ronstadt said.
He did not provide a number, but said those arrested were issued citations and released.
