Antifa protesters arrested in Philadelphia after clash with police
About 16 Antifa protesters were arrested in Philadelphia on Saturday after a clash with officers, Philadelphia police say.
Police said about 75 members of Antifa — short for "anti-fascist" — were in the area of Broad and Arch streets for a protest, during which several members began to fight with police.
Nine people were issued citations for failure to disperse, and seven were charged with disorderly conduct, a third-degree misdemeanor.
Police said there was a Blue Lives Matter march at the same time, but the two groups didn't interact.
