New Delhi: The Grand Central Terminal, one of New York City’s major transit hubs had to be closed as hundreds of protesters demanding a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas converged at the place, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) said.
“Grand Central Terminal is closed until further notice due to a protest,” the MTA said on its website, urging commuters to use alternate stations and plan for extra travel time.
Mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living,” read one banner raised inside the building, Reuters reported.
Images on social media showed protesters pouring out of the train station and onto 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, and a large crowd being detained by law enforcement.
The group, Jewish Voice for Peace, which organised the demonstration, posted a video on Instagram showing police in the station escorting a long line of protesters, who were wearing shirts reading “Ceasefire Now” and “Not In Our Name” with their arms secured behind their backs.
