Clashes Erupt between Trump Supporters, Police in Washington

"Fox News" network reported that a demonstration of supporters of the current US President Donald Trump, ended in clashes with the police in Washington D.C.

Ahead of the approval of Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election in the US Congress, several hundreds of Trump supporters are demanding that the votes of members of the electorate from the disputed states not be taken into account, where Biden won by a narrow margin.

At first, the demonstrators went quietly, without the participation of far-right groups who had attended such actions earlier.

The clashes began between the demonstrators and the police on Tuesday evening.

Police used pepper spray to disperse the demonstrators, and during that time they arrested at least six people for having committed various violations of law, including possession of weapons and ammunition and attacking police officers.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Metropolitan Police released a map of streets to be closed in anticipation of demonstrations in support of President Donald Trump.

Police said that as from Tuesday, January 5, 2021, through Thursday, January 7, 2021, many changes are expected in the District of Columbia (D.C) due to the pro-Trump demonstrations.

The US security services indicated that the prohibited streets will be announced on Tuesday, January 5, 2021, from 6:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Thursday, January 7, 2021.

A statement issued by Metropolitan Police added that there would be parking restrictions and possible street closures that motorists should consider.

A spokesman for police of Washington confirmed the arrest of Enrique Tarjo, leader of the Proud Boys group supporting President Donald Trump, on charges of destroying property.

The spokesman pointed out that when Tario was arrested, he was in possession of two magazines for firearms and was charged.

Trump urged his supporters to go to Washington to express their displeasure at the endorsement of the election of President-elect Joe Biden and promote what he described as the "great protest gathering" in Washington.
