NEW YORK, (Reuters) - New York police arrested a group of pro-Palestinian protesters who briefly interrupted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday by attempting to block the parade route just ahead of the Ronald McDonald float.
The 98th annual parade, televised nationwide, is part of the tradition of America's Thanksgiving holiday, a spectacle of giant balloons of cartoon characters, marching bands and popular music acts performing live. Thousands line the streets of Manhattan to watch.
