The protesters, holding signs and chanting slogans, remained at the intersection for over an hour, causing significant delays for commuters and forcing several bus routes to be diverted. Police were on the scene to monitor the situation and ensure the safety of all involved.
The demonstration was met with mixed reactions from passersby, with some expressing support for the cause while others voiced frustration over the disruption to their morning commute.
