New York City Police made several arrests Thursday morning as a group of pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, TMZ confirmed.
Police tell us … several people have been arrested, but an exact number is unclear as the disturbance just happened. For the moment … it appears to have been cleared.

The protesters did not make the televised program on NBC … but social media was flooded with snaps and video of them making their attempt … and the quick response from NYPD.
The protesters swarmed the parade at W. 55th Street and Sixth Avenue … which is where they stopped the Ronald McDonald balloon.

Some of the protesters sitting in the parade’s path held a large banner reading … “Don’t celebrate genocide!” … as some shouted “Free, free Palestine.”
