A clash between Trump supporters and critics in Berkeley, Calif., has led to the arrest of at least a dozen people, according to a report.
Berkeley police told CNN that at least 12 people have been arrested and multiple people are injured. ABC News later reported 15 people had been arrested.
The network displayed video from its KGO affiliate showing of a swarm of people, some of whom appeared to be fighting.
One person threw a firecracker thrown into the crowd, CNN reported.

About 500 pro-Trump supporters rallied for a “Patriots Day” rally Saturday morning, according to the Los Angeles Times. Included in the mix were members of a citizen militia group known as the Oath Keepers wearing security gear who were there to protect the Trump supporters.
The report says pro-Trump and counter-protesters have clashed twice on the streets of Berkeley in the last three months.

More than 150 marches nationwide, inspired by Tax Day, were also taking place on Saturday to call on President Trump to release his tax returns, including one in Washington, D.C., and another near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Springs, Fla., where he is staying this Easter weekend.
