NYPD has conducted at least 10 arrests during Sunday's anti-Trump protest in Manhattan.

Earlier media reports said that journalists were among those arrested, which the police have denied, saying that all arrested individuals were not "NYPD credentialed members of the press".

Videos spread on social media show police trying to push counter-protesters to the sidewalk, which resulted in clashes. The activists resisted the arrests and were pushing back the officers, some of them using umbrellas and other objects at hand.

One activist was heard screaming, "I hope all your children get raped and killed", though it is not clear whom she was addressing.

​The clashes occurred at West 24th Street and 10th Avenue, as anti-Trump activists were reportedly anticipating MAGA supporters to show up.
