A dozen people were arrested in a New York City Occupy Wall Street march called to show support for Occupy protesters in Oakland, Calif., police said.

Some of an estimated 300 participants in the Sunday march threw bottles, apparently aimed at police officers, who accompanied the marchers on foot and in vehicles, The New York Times said.

In Washington, the National Park Service said Occupy DC protesters would be stopped from camping in parks Monday.

In Oakland, about 400 people were arrested after a protest Saturday left City Hall vandalized and an American flag burned, authorities said.

New York police said three of the 12 people arrested were charged with assault and one with criminal weapons possession. Most of the others arrested were charged with disorderly conduct.

"We're going to get the backs of our brothers and sisters in the Bay Area," one protester said in reference to the Oakland demonstrations. "Let's march."
