MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A protest Monday evening during rush hour brought traffic to a halt in Minneapolis along Interstate 94 at the Lowry Tunnel.
Cameras show the trouble began with a convoy on I-394 around 5 p.m. As the vehicles slowly rolled onto the highway, traffic quickly backed up. It appears the vehicles moved to I-94 where traffic crawled to a stop in the Lowry Tunnel.
Palestinian flags are seen on some of the vehicles involved with the protest inside the Lowry Tunnel.
In a news release Monday evening, Minnesota State Patrol said eight people were arrested during the protest for offenses ranging from obstructing the legal process to fleeing police.
