Hundreds of Occupy D.C. Protesters Block Conservatives From Leaving Summit

Hundreds of Occupy D.C. protesters descended on the city’s convention center Friday night, blocking the streets around where a conservative group was gathered for an annual summit.


Demonstrators staged a “sit in” around the convention center for several hours and barred individuals inside from leaving the area, the Washington Post reported.

Three protesters were struck by a car, authorities told the Post. They were transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

“The protesters were apparently trying to block the roadway,” D.C. police Lt. Christopher Micciche told the Associated Press. “It was essentially an accident where three individuals were injured but they were in violation by being in the roadway.”
