(Reuters) - Thousands of anti-Wall Street protesters rallied in Times Square on Saturday, buoyed by a global day of demonstrations backing their month long campaign against economic inequality.

Inspired by the grass-roots Occupy Wall Street movement, protests started in Asia and Europe and rippled around to the United States and Canada. Demonstrations were held in dozens of cities including Washington, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and Toronto.

After weeks of intense media coverage, the size of the U.S. protests have been smaller than Group of 20 meetings or political conventions have yielded. Such events often draw tens of thousands of demonstrators.

In New York, organizers said the protest grew to at least 5,000 people as they marched to Times Square in midtown Manhattan from their outdoor headquarters in the financial district. The movement began when protesters set up camp in a Lower Manhattan park on September 17.

"It's not every day that you get to be at the most significant uprising in a generation," Occupy Wall Street said on its Facebook page. Protesters said they did not have any police permits for the New York demonstrations.

Banging drums, the protesters chanted, "We got sold out, banks got bailed out" and "All day, all week, occupy Wall Street" as they marched, staying on the sidewalks as directed by police.

Some were disappointed the New York crowd was not larger.

"People don't want to get involved. They'd rather watch on TV," said Troy Simmons, 47, who joined demonstrators as he left work. "The protesters could have done better today. ... People from the whole region should be here and it didn't happen."

The Times Square mood was akin to New Year's Eve, when the famed "ball drop" occurs. In a festive mood, protesters were joined by throngs of tourists snapping pictures, together counting back from 10 and shouting, "Happy New Year."

Another 5,000 marched through Los Angeles and gathered peacefully outside City Hall.

Police said three people were arrested in Times Square after pushing down police barriers and five men were arrested earlier for wearing masks. Police also arrested 24 people at a Citibank branch in Manhattan, mostly for trespassing.

Citibank was not immediately available for comment.

At about 8 p.m., police arrested another 42 people for blocking the sidewalk. Protesters complained they had no place to go with a wall of police in riot gear in front of them and thousands of demonstrators behind them leaving Times Square.

Police say 70 people have been arrested in New York City during demonstrations against corporate greed, including 45 in Times Square.

Police spokesman Paul Browne says 42 people were arrested at 46th Street and Sixth Avenue about 8 p.m. Saturday after being warned three times to disperse. Three other people were arrested just after 6 p.m. while trying to take down police barriers.

About 15 handcuffed demonstrators were seen being loaded into a van.

It wasn't immediately clear what charges they might face.

Earlier in the day, two dozen protesters were arrested at a Citibank branch when they refused a manager's request to leave. Most were detained for trespassing.

Five other people wearing masks were arrested as demonstrators marched through Manhattan to Times Square.

  • Im sorry to say that it seems like most people could care less. As long as they have a bong to suck on...they will happily sit in shit their wholeo lives.

  • @krysdanielle too true. And those founding fathers seemed to think the function of government was to act as a mechanism to settle disputes among members of society so that peaceful social interaction was the primary goal, and not the amassing of wealth as it seems to have become.

  • Great video. I think it's great to have work like this so that, no matter what, it's all here on record.

  • These people have a right they are not just fucking wasteing thir time their are people in the goverment who are getting rich off of our suffering you fucking shit head
