PORTLAND, Ore. – 25 people were arrested after a Portland May Day march turned into a riot.
The Portland Police Bureau said the permitted and scheduled march began with officers taking away sticks, poles and homemade shields from participants.
Early on in the march, rocks and other projectiles were being thrown at officers and paramedics. One Portland Fire and Rescue medic was hit with a full can of Pepsi, according to police.
Shortly thereafter, the situation turned into what officers called a “full-scale riot.”
Various fires were set in the streets and a police car was vandalized. Officers said there was at least one attempt to set a business on fire.
Police said they revoked the march’s permit and told citizens to leave the downtown area.
Police Chief Mike Marshman said, “Unfortunately the actions of the law breakers undermined and covered up the message of the law abiding individuals who worked to peacefully get their message heard on May Day.”
