Nine people were arrested Thursday after marching into the Brooklyn Supreme Court on Adams Street to protest the borough’s housing crisis, the Brooklyn Paper reported.
Fifteen people, affiliated with the protesters on Wall Street, disrupted three mortgage sales in another sign of Occupy Wall Street’s growing influence.
The nine arrested protesters were later arrested.
This protest, two days ahead of an Occupy Brooklyn rally, targeted housing because of Brooklyn’s high foreclosure rate. It is the fourth highest in the state.
