13 protesters arrested for blocking Midtown traffic in march against end of abortion rights

NEW YORK — Thirteen protesters railing against the Supreme Court’s decision to eliminate the constitutional right to abortion were arrested during a late-night march on Friday in Midtown, cops said.

A dozen adults and one teenager were zip-tied and taken into custody near the corner of Sixth Avenue and 42nd Street at 11 p.m. after they sat down in the intersection and began blocking traffic, refusing orders to get out of the street, police said.

The protesters were expected to receive summonses.
