Tensions between members of a right-wing group advocating for greater law and order and antifa counterprotesters boiled over Saturday in Portland, Ore., in violent clash that reportedly included the use of bear spray and clubs.
Riot police were able to put a stop to one of the brawls with pepper balls after fighting broke out at the Patriot Prayer rally as participants marched through the city's downtown district, according to the Oregonian.
No immediate arrests were made but Portland Police were still investigating with the help of witnesses, as well as video and photos of the event, the Associated Press reported. Four people received medical assistance, but local authorities were unaware if anyone was taken to hospital for further treatment.
