Portland protests turn violent as Antifa members arrested | Daily Mail Online: At least seven people were arrested after clashing with police in Portland where white nationalists and Antifa counter-demonstrators faced off in tense dueling protests on Sunday
Two police officers were injured in the violence, local media reported
Authorities in the city were preparing for violence at around noon as anticipation grew for a rally that was staged by Patriot Prayer, a right-wing organization
At around the same time, police made sure to create a buffer between Patriot Prayer and another group which gathered to demonstrate under the banner ‘Shut Down White Supremacy’
Overall the demonstrations were largely peaceful, though a small number of Antifa protesters began to throw projectiles, including rocks and smoke bombs at police
One scary moment took place when a motorist driving a large pickup truck accelerated toward a crowd of demonstrators before he was placed under arrest
