Police have arrested Occupy Wall Street protesters attempting to take over an empty lot in Manhattan. Here's the full report.

Hundreds of anti-Wall Street protesters took to the New York streets on Saturday in an attempt to establish a new encampment.

However, as the demonstrators tried to move onto church-owned land they were met by police, with many being arrested.

According to an Occupy Wall Street spokesman, the protesters had used a wooden ladder to climb over a chain-link fence into the lot owned by Trinity Church.

Police had no immediate figure on how many demonstrators were arrested, but one witness put the number at dozens.

The protesters later moved to a different area of lower Manhattan, saying they were headed to the house of the Trinity Church rector.

The Occupy movement, which says the U.S. economic system is unfair and favors a tiny rich minority, began three months ago in New York, but was ultimately forced out of its main camp in the city.
