Fifteen people were arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest as police cleared Zuccotti Park. 

Members of the Occupy Wall Street movement clashed with New York Police Department officers after being removed from Zuccotti Park in New York. Police wearing helmets and carrying shields early on Tuesday began to clear the park in New York City's financial district, where protesters from the movement have been camping since September.
