Thousands of protesters, ignoring an 8 PM curfew, occupied New York City's Manhattan Bridge on Tuesday evening, halting traffic. Eyewitness video showed protesters crowding on the iconic bridge, surrounding a police truck.

According to social media reports, protesters became "stuck" on the bridge, with blockades set up by police on both ends. Despite the presence of national guard troops and curfews imposed in several cities, protests have continued on for an eighth consecutive night.
