Actors Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were among people detained by police in New York on Thursday as officers moved to break up a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The demonstration was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace and took place as Netanyahu prepared to address the United Nations General Assembly in the city.

Footage of the demonstration shows New York police officers detaining Sarandon, an Oscar-winning actor known for her role in Thelma & Louise, at the scene of the protest. Einbinder, known for her role in the series Hacks, was also among those detained.
