The demonstrators burst into the Macy's store at 34th and Broadway, holding a sit-in or "die-in" to protest what they say is the unjust decision not to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo over Garner's death.

The NYPD would not comment to BuzzFeed News on how long the protesters were in the stores or whether arrests had been made.

BuzzFeed News also contacted both stores, with one Macy's worker saying the protesters had since left the building.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
