The New York Police Department reported taking 34 people into custody following a pro-Palestinian protest at the Brooklyn Museum on Friday.

The protest, organized by Within Our Lifetime, aimed to “de-occupy” the museum until it disclosed and divested from investments linked to Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

Starting at the Barclays Center, the protest reached the museum by 4:30 p.m., where participants occupied the public plaza and entered the building.

According to museum spokesperson Taylor Maatman, protesters blocked entrances, displayed banners, and caused damage to artwork, NBC News reported.

Additionally, some museum security staff were physically and verbally harassed.
