IN THE LOOP: Dozens of Chicago Police standing guard as people gather on Wacker Drive.
Unclear if these are protesters from an earlier demonstration at The Bean. @cbschicagopic.twitter.com/LnWOozfaSN

The clash happened as the police line slowly creeped up behind protesters. It looked like people got tripped up on bikes. All seems back to marching...as medics treat those who were injured.

The clashes. Keep. Happening. Media being kept back, but you can see bike after bike being thrown out of crowd.

Arrests in the aftermath of that previous encounter. Police writing numbers on people while ahead of them...the line of police holds strong.

I’ve counted at least five protesters here being arrested and placed into the wagon. Again, media is being kept back from what’s ahead.

Chaos SEEMS to have concluded at Adams & LaSalle. I can’t spot anymore people in the distance. Police say the crowd has dispersed. We’re staying put a bit longer & will be live on

UPDATE: I’m told Chicago Police will be having a news conference regarding clashes that left officers & protesters hurt this Saturday in the Loop. This young lady was one example of how people walked away, seemingly pepper sprayed.
