Multiple videos show protesters in physical altercations with police near W. 24th Street and 10th Avenue, steps away from the High Line.
Protesters can be heard hurling insults and profanities at the cops, who are seen barricading the street and shoving some demonstrators.

A New York Times reporter tweeted that the protest was aimed at countering pro-Trump caravans in the city on Sunday but that some demonstrators “wanted to confront cops.” Clashes reportedly happened as police moved in to clear some protesters.
The protest started north at Madison Square Park, with demonstrators heading down the West Side Highway before dispersing in Chelsea, according to the New York Post.
A prominent member of Black Lives Matter, Hawk Newsome, was among those arrested, according to Rev. Kevin McCall, who told 1010 WINS he spoke with Newsome's sister.
The NYPD said reports that members of the press were among those arrested were false.
"All arrested individuals from today's protests have been verified to not be NYPD credentialed members of the press," the department tweeted.
