NYPD arrested a reporter at the MAGA caravan counter protest at 10th Ave. and 24th St. The journalist has a press badge and a camera. The crowd can be heard pointing out he's a reporter as police throw him to the ground and cuff him.
Conversation
The crowd of about 300 protesters is aggravated by the arrest of a journalist. Police shout "hold the line" and NYPD and protesters push against each other. More arrests underway.

The crowd is mostly dispersed now. About thirty protesters are discussing what to do next.

What happened? Were the cops trying to clear the street or something?
Wonder if they’ll do the same to the caravan members...whose goal is to block the streets.

The LRAD was threatening arrest for anyone not on the sidewalk. It's unclear whether the journalist was in the street at some point, but when he's thrown to the ground he's clearly on the sidewalk.
