SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Police arrested dozens of people during a
raid of an Occupy San Francisco encampment outside the Federal
Reserve building early Sunday.
San Francisco police Officer Albie Esparza says around 4 a.m. officers arrested about 55 people for illegal lodging.
No officers or demonstrators injured, but Esparza says some officers were spit on and one officer was pushed by demonstrators during the arrests. Esparza says before police moved in on the encampment demonstrators had been warned on an hourly basis over a 24-period that they were subject to arrest.
The arrests Sunday come after at least 85 people were arrested early Wednesday when police cleared a separate Occupy encampment in nearby Justin Herman Plaza.
