10 people were arrested for assault, 6 for assault on a police officer, 4 for riotous acts, 2 for crossing a police line and one for possession of an illegal weapon.
Check out the videos ... you hear one of the Proud Boys say, "The fight has just begun."

At one point cops formed a human barricade in an effort to separate the 2 groups, and almost immediately explosive projectiles were hurled at the crowd.
Scary times.
