UPPER WEST SIDE, Manhattan -- More than a dozen women were arrested during a demonstration for International Women's Day outside a hotel in New York City Wednesday.

The NYPD said at least 13 women were taken into custody for disobeying officers' orders to get out of the street. They were sitting in the road during a "Day Without Women" protest in front of Trump International Hotel on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

The women were chanting "Donald Trump has got to go" during the protest.

Police announced that anyone who complied with orders to get out of the street would not face any charges.
