One person was arrested on suspicion of arson in front of the Federal Building, where a pro Donald Trump rally was being held, Los Angeles Police Department officials told KTLA.
Aerial video from Sky5 showed one person being taken into custody by officers.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the person burned a small American flag. The newspaper is also reporting that another person was arrested after allegedly “throwing projectiles.”
Organized labor and immigration groups were marching from MacArthur Park to City Hall Monday. Nearby, about 150 Trump supporters also gathered with signs that read “Deport Illegals” and “ICE ICE Baby,” photos from the scene showed.
The dueling demonstrations came to a head about 1:30 p.m. when police separated the two groups, Sky5 video showed.
