Many protesters wore masks and carried signs. Protesters were seen coming in waves down Flatbush Avenue.
A large police presence was seen. Officers wore helmets and face shields and stood shoulder to shoulder as they blocked the subway station.
Drivers were also seen honking in solidarity with the protesters.
Over the last few days, protests in the city have occasionally erupted in violence as the evening progressed.
Police say 47 NYPD cruisers were vandalized Saturday night. At least 345 people were arrested and more than 30 officers were hurt, according to the NYPD.
