Police and anti-vaccine protesters clashed on the grounds of New Zealand's parliament Thursday, with dozens arrested after demonstrators who have laid siege to the legislature for three days were ordered to move on.

Police moved in early Thursday after taking a hands-off approach to the first two days of days of protests, using loudhailers to warn a crowd of about 150 they faced arrest unless they left.
