New York, May 28 (EFE/EPA).- Around 100 people demonstrated in New York City on Thursday over the death of George Floyd in police custody, during which bottles were thrown, protesters clashed with police and dozens were reportedly arrested.Protesters, wearing masks and gloves against COVID-19, gathered in Manhattan’s iconic Union Square carrying placards under the close surveillance of dozens of police.The demonstration traveled through several streets of the city, demanding justice for Floyd and with cries of "I can't breathe," his words before he died.At least 40 people were arrested, according to local media, citing the New York Police Department.The 46-year-old African-American man died Monday after a white police officer pinned him to the ground with a knee to the back of his neck while he was handcuffed and other officers stood by.Floyd's death has triggered days of massive protests in the US, and in some cases riots, the burning of buildings and the looting of shops, which has reached New York and played out Thursday during the tense protest against police brutality, as has happened in other notable cases.(Camera: ALBA VIGARAY).FOOTAGE SHOWS THE PROTEST OVER THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD AND THE SUBSEQUENT CLASHES WITH POLICE IN NEW YORK CITY, US.
