25th May 2025
Seattle police said they arrested 23 people Saturday after left-wing protesters confronted Christian activists at a prayer rally held in a popular LGBTQ neighborhood.
Protesters waving transgender flags gathered on the outside of a “Mayday USA” Christian rally when police said multiple people in one demonstration started throwing items at the other group around 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
“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,” police said in a news release.
