The New York Police Department said it arrested more than 20 individuals “who attempted to hijack a peaceful protest by lighting fires, throwing garbage and eggs” in Manhattan.
The NYPD said it confiscated knives and fireworks from some of the individuals.
Earlier on Wednesday, hundreds of people waving US flags and carrying signs that read, “Count every vote, every vote counts,” demonstrated peacefully at Washington Square Park after marching through midtown Manhattan.
