Police arrested over 50 protesters trying to occupy a park in Manhattan (Video).

Reuters - New York police forces arrest more than 50 protesters who were trying to occupy a park in Manhattan.

Occupy Wall Street protesters, who were evicted from their Lower Manhattan encampment last month, were marking the movement's three-month anniversary by attempting to claim a second New York Citypark. They ripped holes in a fence around the park, and used ladders to climb over it.

Protesters had gathered for speeches, live music and performances Saturday in Duarte Square Park inNew York's TriBeCa neighborhood. Part of the half-block parcel is city-owned public land, while the other portion belongs to Trinity Wall Street, a nonprofit religious organization and one of the city's largest real estate holders.

Trinity hasn't granted protesters permission for access. Hundreds of demonstrators gather at Duarte Square to protest against Trinity's decision.

Protesters have been searching for new space since New York police on Nov. 15 evicted them fromZuccotti Park, which had served as the symbolic heart and 24-hour headquarters of the movement for two months. Brookfield Office Properties Inc., operator of the publicly owned private space, has since banned tents, tarps and other gear that enabled hundreds to sleep there each night. Lying down at all is now prohibited.

Like their colleagues in other U.S. cities who have faced similar evictions, the lack of a 24-hour public presence has led New York organizers to rely on "days of action" to attract media attention and public support as they continue their fight against economic inequality.
