Dozens of Occupy Wall Street protesters were arrested at New Year as they tore down barricades surrounding New York City's Zuccotti Park, the former home of their encampment that was dismantled several weeks ago.
About 500 protesters gathered in the park, where they rang in the New Year with songs and their now-familiar chant of "We are the 99 per cent." The New York Police Department said 68 people were arrested.
