Pro-Palestinian protesters have hit the streets of Philadelphia again on Friday evening.
Police were called to the area near 34th and Walnut streets before 9 p.m.
SkyForce10 is over the scene where police can be seen lined up next to the crowd on the sidewalk.
As of 9:50 p.m., the protest appears to be peaceful with officers just monitoring the group.
Some of the protesters can be seen banging pots and pans while others use noisemakers in front of the police officers.
The protesters appear to be taking up space on both sides of the sidewalk while the officers stand in the street.
