Several hundred Occupy Seattle demonstrators protested in the rain outside a hotel where JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was invited to speak Wednesday night.
Earlier, Seattle police arrested six demonstrators at a Chase Bank branch protest. Police spokesman Jeff Kappel says police used pepper spray on the crowd when at least 10 officers were physically assaulted while putting the arrested protesters in a paddy wagon. Kappel says at least two officers suffered minor injuries.
Seattle’s anti-Wall Street demonstrators later marched to the downtown hotel where Dimon was keynote speaker at a University of Washington Foster School of Business leadership celebration.
