Woman goes into labor while I-80, Amtrak blocked during protests; 150 arrested

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Amtrak and I-80 and are both open again through Berkeley after protesters managed to shut them both down last night. Demonstrators turned out in the largest numbers yet over alleged police brutality cases across the country.

The CHP arrested 150 people for getting onto I-80 in Berkeley. They blocked traffic for about an hour and a half in both directions. Officials say protestors were able to get onto the freeway because they broke through the fence that lines the perimeter. Officials say as CHP officers tried to move them, they were met with violence; some protestors threw rocks at the officers. They were booked into jail for offenses such as resisting arrest and obstructing a police officer.
