The scene at a cleared out Zuccotti Park

Protesters say the police gave them about 20 minutes to gather their things and leave the park

The barriers are still up around Zuccotti Park, lined with police in riot gear.

A few protesters made it back in after being cleared out during the small hours.

They scrambled over the wall and stood around for a bit, occasionally chanting "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out". One man waved a Chinese flag.

Organisers told me these people have jumped the gun and indeed the police soon kicked them out again without much of a fuss.

But I am told there will be a mass "Reoccupy" soon and I will update when I can.
