Here's a description of the arrests Friday night following the Donut Social. From the NYPD Daily Blotter in the Post today:
Five protesters were arrested Friday after clashing with police in the East Village following a rally against police brutality and gentrification.
Cops said the rally, on East Fifth Street near First Avenue down the block from the 9th Precinct station house, had ended peacefully at 8 p.m. when anger flared.
One man was busted for throwing objects at police.
The arrest sparked more violence from the crowd and led to the arrest of a man who allegedly threw a chair at cops.
Two protesters were arrested for damaging patrol cars, including an 18-year-old man.
A fifth person, an 18-year-old woman described by police as homeless, was arrested when she tried to interfere with police, laying down in the street and refusing to move, cops said.
