VESTAL - Ten people were arrested after police say they began shoving officers at an anti-war rally in upstate New York.
Town of Vestal Police Chief John Butler says some are charged with disorderly conduct, a violation, and others are charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor.

About 60 people participated in the demonstration, which started at Binghamton University campus and moved into the street as demonstrators made their way to a military recruiting station.

The demonstration tied up traffic, and Butler says there were two accidents, injuring at least one person.

Police originally discussed arresting the entire group, but most peacefully walked back to campus.
