Dozens of protesters marching in uptown streets

By Jeff Smith

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

About 70 to 80 protesters again marched the streets Tuesday night.

The protesters first made a push toward the Time Warner Cable Arena, where the Democratic National Convention is under way.  

Police officers on bicycles and on foot met the protesters at Stonewall and South Tryon streets around 9:30 p.m. Officers were standing shoulder to shoulder, holding batons.

There have been no arrests so far, but Eyewitness News saw police officers ready to make arrests if necessary.

Protesters then marched away from the arena and headed toward Fifth and Graham streets.

The Tuesday night protest came after at least three other protests broke out in uptown earlier in the day.
