Two officers were hospitalized Tuesday night after hundreds of Trump supporters reportedly rushed a police line near Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington.

The video posted on Twitter by Brendan Gutenschwager, an independent journalist, shows the clash that took place shortly before 10:15 pm at BLM Plaza and I Street NW on the eve of today’s March for Trump / Save America rally.

About 200 Trump supporters marched to the police line, according to a Washington Post report.

“Beatings were thrown on the line and a woman was bloody,” the newspaper reported. “The police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd. It was unclear how the clash began or whether any arrests were made. A DC Fire and EMS Department spokesman said a woman and two DC police officers were rushed to hospital with minor injuries. “

NBC News reported that by 9:00 p.m. Tuesday, six people had been arrested in connection with the protests on the eve of today’s rally. Fees included carrying unlicensed firearms, possession of unregistered ammunition and firearms, and attacking a police officer.

In another video by Gutenschwager, Trump supporters can be seen yelling at the police.

“You don’t want to protect the constitution, so you’ve lost both sides of support,” one protester told officials. “We had your goddamn back, but we don’t have your back anymore. We’re the veterans, we’re the business owners, and we had your back, but we don’t have your back anymore because you don’t have our back. “

“Heads will roll!” Another protester yells repeatedly.
