Hundreds of environmental activists with the group Extinction Rebellion descended on New York City's Financial District on Monday morning to protest against climate change. Twenty-six people were arrested at around 10.30am after protesters poured fake blood on the famous Charging Bull statue near Wall Street. One woman was arrested for reckless endangerment after she climbed on top of the bull waving a green Extinction Rebellion flag. The protesters staged a 'die-in' by covering themselves with the fake blood and lying in the street. #NY #NYPD
