OAKLAND -- Hundreds of protesters have marched onto Interstate 880 at Broadway and brought traffic to a halt in both directions.
The protesters, many of whom were on bicycles, broke off from a group of several hundred demonstraterswho began marching from City Hall earlier this evening.
Once on the freeway, the protesters milled about, and several laid their bicycles on the ground in front of stopped cars.
Another group of about 40 protesters are marching at 7th and Alice Streets, police said.
The freeway shutdown marks the third night of disruptive demonstrations in Oakland
following the not guilty verdict of neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
