New York (CNN) -- Hundreds of chanting Occupy Wall Street protesters were arrested Saturday for blocking traffic at the Brooklyn Bridge, police said.
Traffic heading to Brooklyn from Manhattan was still not flowing at 7:15 p.m. Saturday evening, but officials said it was expected to resume soon. Manhattan-bound traffic was moving.
Protesters banged drums and chanted, "The whole world is watching" as police moved in to make arrests for disorderly conduct and blocking traffic.
About 400 people were arrested after they failed to comply with police orders to stay on the bridge's pedestrian walkway, said Paul Browne, deputy commissioner for the New York Police Department.

Wall Street wins if the protesters can be painted as an annoyance.
