Extinction Rebellion protestors pour fake blood over New York’s capitalist bull
Demonstrators were arrested in a wave of US protests that are part of a global week of action by the UK-based group
More than 20 people were arrested by police in New York City’s financial district after Extinction Rebellion climate protestors poured fake blood over the famous Charging Bull statue, a symbol of American capitalist might.
The protestors launched a wave of disruptive protests in the city on Monday. A smaller number of arrests were made at a “die in” outside New York’s stock exchange, with protestors subsequently blocking a nearby road to traffic.
