Seattle police arrest 22 adults and 1 juvenile amid clashes at Cal Anderson Park rally

Twenty-three people were arrested during a rally by a pro-life and pro-biologic-gender group at Cal Anderson Park Saturday afternoon.

Seattle police said officers who were working to keep two different groups apart witnessed multiple people inside one group throw items at the opposing group at around 1:30 p.m.

“Officers immediately moved to arrest the people responsible, and while taking the individuals into custody, were assaulted by more protesters, resulting in even more arrests,” wrote Seattle police. “In total, officers arrested 11 during the initial scuffle.”

Police continued to note that officers escorted the arrested individuals out of the crowd and later took them to their west precinct for processing.
