Eleven people have been arrested after stopping their vehicles on Auckland Harbour Bridge during a planned protest, Stuff reports. Roughly 50 people gathered at Northcote’s Onepoto Domain on Saturday morning. Waitematā District Commander, Superintendent Naila Hassan, said police had been negotiating with the protesters in the days leading up to the crossing, attempting to deter them. Despite agreeing to drive over the bridge at a set speed, a number of protesters exited their vehicles to walk the busy bridge. “Their behaviour was selfish and stupid,” Hassan said.
