New York curfew extended through Tuesday evening

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio extended the city's curfew through Tuesday evening.

The Tuesday night curfew will begin at 8 p.m. ET, de Blasio said on Twitter. The curfew on Monday started at 11 p.m. ET. 

"These protests have power and meaning. But as the night wears on we are seeing groups use them to incite violence and destroy property. Our first priority is keeping people safe, so I'm extending the curfew to Tuesday. It will begin at 8 pm," de Blasio said.
