Police have arrested protesters attempting to occupy a US Senate building, as activists influenced by the "Occupy Wall Street" movement continue to rally in the nation's capital.
Nearly 100 protesters on Tuesday morning marched onto Capitol Hill, the site of the Capitol building, and flooded the Hart Senate Office Building, where they unveiled two banners that read: "End War Now" and "People for the People".
Protesters said that they wanted to shut down Congress until the Senate agreed to hear their demands.

Police said no protesters or police were injured.
"Civil disobedience will not be tolerated," Thomas Menino, mayor of Boston, told a local news station on Tuesday.
