14 Occupy Wall Street protestors were arrested during a march through Manhattan and a demonstration at the U.N. in New York Saturday to protest police attacks and brutality.

Demonstrators carried signs that said “End Police Brutality” and “Shame on NYPD,” reports The Daily Beast.

Ten of the protestors were arrested for disorderly conduct during their four-hour march, police told Reuters.

The protest happened the day after NYPD said it would fire an undercover detective who fired the first shots of police gunfire that killed an unarmed black man in 2006.

Two men and two women were later arrested for trespassing during a protest at the U.N. Saturday.

More than 70 protestors were arrested last Saturday by police sweeping them out of Zuccotti Park.
