Protesters in New York converged near the Met Gala 2024 on Monday in a rally against the ongoing war in Gaza, leading to several arrests, police said.
Among the rallying points were the gates of Columbia University, which has been the center of spreading demonstrations, before protesters marched through Manhattan to American fashion`s biggest night -- or at least as close as police would let them.
