Occupy Philly Arrests At 30th Street Station

PHILADELPHIA - On Thursday, Occupy Philadelphia marched on 30th Street Station and there were arrests by police.

Slideshow: Protesters Prepare For Arrests

About 700 protesters started a march from City Hall to the bridge over 30th Street to show their anger with the conditions of local bridges, and people should be put to work fixing them.

Protesters sat near the street area preparing to be arrested as they were counseled by others in how to handle the arrests.

Just before 6 p.m., Philadelphia police in protective gear started arresting about two dozen protesters.

The action came at the height of rush hour in Philadelphia.

The city needs to move the protesters so renovations for Dilworth Plaza can begin, but as we've seen across the country, getting them to move can get ugly.

No date has been set for Occupy Philly's potential move to another location.
