An Inauguration Day standoff in D.C. between police and anarchist protesters resulted in dozens of arrests, at least one person removed by ambulance and police officers pepper-spraying people to disperse the crowd.

The protesters smashed windows at a bus stop and businesses in the downtown area before congregating in mass in front of the American Health Care Association building on L Street Northwest. Police surrounded a group of about 100 protesters and began arresting them one by one.
