Hundreds of angry young people congregated in front of Trump Tower in New York on Wednesday night to protest the election of Donald Trump as the new US president, forcing dozens of policemen to descend on the area with barricades to ensure there was peace and order and raising fears of unrest in the coming days.
A helicopter hovered overhead to monitor to the protest which continued into the wee hours of Thursday. When this newspaper left the area close to midnight the crowd appeared to be growing.
The only report of violence reaching Stabroek News was about a bottle lobbed by an angry protester hitting a policeman. Reports are that over a dozen persons were arrested by police throughout the night.
