Occupy Oakland protesters blocked the entrance to the Port of Oakland on Thursday morning after a night of violent clashes with police.
The protesters built a chain-link fence and placed Dumpsters at the entrance to the port at 3rd and Adeline streets, The Oakland Tribune reported.
Some port drivers left, while others attempted to navigate the blockage, the newspaper reported. A dozen protesters scuffled with port truckers.
Protester Monique Agnew stood in front of a truck forcing its way in, then hit it with a sign she was carrying.
"I can't believe they are being that aggressive over a paycheck, over your own people fighting for you," she said.
