The corner of New York City’s 5th Avenue and 56th Street is typically dotted with shoppers, designer goods and more than one reaction to the famous building casting its shadow over the block. Images of Donald Trump's "Fight Fight Fight" are held in the air, others choose to put a choice finger in the air, merchants hawk T-shirts with the president's mugshot. A few buskers hope to sell MAGA hats to anyone who breaks stride.
On Thursday, that typical NYC chaos turned into actual - but short-lived - chaos. MAGA-red was replaced by protest red and cop blue as protestors were dragged outside the famous tower after “occupying” it.
