The New York Police Department arrested 65 people, 30 of them minors, during the chaos that occurred Friday afternoon in Manhattan.
New York Police Chief Jeffrey Madre told a news conference that Senat faces "at least two counts of incitement to riot, unlawful assembly, and some other charges."
Shocking photos and videos show thousands of people huddled together, with some fighting and others throwing fire extinguishers at each other in midtown Manhattan.
