MILTON, Mass. (WHDH) - Protesters severely delayed traffic on Interstate 93 northbound in Milton and southbound in Medford during Thursday's morning commute.
According to a press release sent out by the protesters, their intention was to, "'disrupt business as usual'" to protest police and state violence against black people."
According to the Mass. State Police, the protesters attached themselves to 1200-pound barrels. Col. Tim Alben said six individuals were tied inside the barrels and had to be cut out of the barrels.
State Police arrested 11 people in Milton after protesters chained to concrete barrels shut down traffic on I-93 Thursday morning.
Police said a U-Haul truck pulled over at about 7:30 a.m. and six protesters with the barrels lined up on the highway.
