Thousands gathered for a pro-Palestinian rally in Brooklyn today, calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.
Crowds began gathering for the protest in front of the Brooklyn Museum around 3 p.m. The crowd then marched through Downtown Brooklyn, heading past the Barclays Center on its way to the Brooklyn Bridge.
There was a large police presence near the bridge, the Barclays Center and along Eastern Parkway.
According to NotifyNYC, all lanes on the bridge are closed as the protest makes its way across into Manhattan, and drivers are encouraged to take alternate routes.
The NYPD has not reported any incidents or arrests so far.
The protest follows another pro-Palestinian demonstration at Grand Central Terminal on Friday, which resulted in the MTA closing the transit hub for nearly two hours.
This is an ongoing story and will be updated with new information as it is available.
