(NEW YORK) Protesters demanding the NYPD fire an officer who brandished his gun at protesters last January marched across the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday, the New York Daily News reported.

Police pepper sprayed, beat and arrested demonstrators after declaring the bridge closed and forcing activists off of the pedestrian walkway.

The protesters gathered in Foley Square and marched across the Brooklyn Bridge. They demanded the NYPD fire Artem Prusayev, an officer from the 84th Precinct in Northern Brooklyn who brandished his gun at peaceful protesters in January.

A petition to fire Prusayev has attracted 2077 signatures on Change.org as of Monday.

Police gave six protesters court summonses.
