Mohawk activist Ben Powless describes the scene at the Novatel Hotel at 1am on Saturday night.
An estimated 150 peaceful protesters have been arrested (they were given no option to leave).
The remaining 50 peaceful protesters are trapped by the police in front of the Hotel, where workers are on strike for basic benefits.
