From NY1 --> Police say about 28 people were arrested during Wednesday's "Occupy Wall Street" march through Lower Manhattan that gathered protesters, community groups, unions and students to object to state and federal lawmakers giving tax breaks to the wealthy, cutting budgets and restoring jobs.

One of the arrested marchers was charged with assault, after he allegedly knocked a policeman from his scooter at State Street and Bridge Street.

Some protesters said they were beaten and even pepper sprayed by police.

"I don't know what sparked it, but people started tossed about, and I did see people getting beaten with clubs, and I personally was pepper sprayed," said Flux Rostrum, a videographer for Mobile Broadcast News.

NY1 reached out to the New York City Police Department late Wednesday to get details about the arrests.

Students from colleges in the neighborhood staged walkouts from classes and joined the ranks of protesters.

Many other unions, including the AFL-CIO, United Federation of Teachers, the Communications Workers of America and District Council 37, the largest union of city workers, also took part in the march.
