Security is to be stepped up around the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during an official visit to New York amid widespread demonstrations over the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of local police.
Thousands of protesters have flooded the city's streets after it was revealed officers who killed father of six Eric Garner would not face criminal charges.
The disruption comes ahead of the Royal couple's three-day tour of the US, during which Prince William will be hosted by President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, at the White House.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit New York next week
