The Daily News has a report on last night's rally for Michael Brown … where participants marched through parts of the East Village to Union Square.

According to reports, the NYPD arrested a man on East 10th Street between Avenue C and Avenue D. To the News:

NYPD cops beat a man Wednesday night during a solidarity protest for Michael Brown, a video shows, although the circumstances surrounding the attack remained unclear early Thursday.

When asked for a comment on the video, police said the man was taken into custody on E. 10th St. near Ave. D, issued a C-summons for disorderly conduct and then released. They described his actions before the violent encounter as "tumultuous behavior."

The Daily News has the full 46-second video here.
