Did a man "affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street protests" tackle a police officer?

I was struck by a picture in the Seattle PI article "Thousands of protesters fill NYC's Times Square," that had the following text beneath it:

A man affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street protests tackles a police officer during a march towards Wall Street in New York, on Friday, Oct. 14, 2011. The official cleanup of a plaza in lower Manhattan where protesters have been camped out for a month was postponed early Friday, sending up cheers from a crowd that had scrambled to scrub the park on its own out of fear the effort was merely a pretext to evict them.

This appears to be the most overt physical action toward a police officer during an Occupy Wall Street protest thus far, but I have seen no discussion of it (even in the article accompanying the picture, which is odd). Since I haven't searched all the news, I wonder if it has been mentioned elsewhere. Has anyone else seen any reference to it?  

Also, the picture belongs to the AP, so I am not sure if I am allowed to paste it in. If I am, I could use some help, as I do not belong to an image hosting service.

The picture also appears, bearing the identical subtitle, within the article "Wall Street protesters energized by park decision" at SignOn San Diego.
