Protesters at Occupy Wall Street’s encampment in Lower Manhattan were awakened by sound cannons overnight Tuesday as police in riot gear moved in to clear the park. After nearly two months occupying Zuccotti Park, protesters were ordered to leave the park and told they could return after it had been “cleared and restored.” WNYC reporter Alex Goldmark has been in Lower Manhattan overnight observing what transpired.
