Protests in New York over the death of George Floyd descended into chaos on Monday just hours after Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a citywide curfew starting from 11 p.m until 5 a.m. Tuesday.

While bands of protesters could be seen marching peacefully through Manhattan and Brooklyn in what is now the fourth day of protests against police brutality, dozens of people were also arrested and hundreds of looters were seen breaking their way into downtown Manhattan businesses and emptying them of merchandise, ABC7NY reported.
