WATCH - Portland Police officers knock a protester off of his bicycle and arrest him outside of Lownsdale Square Park near the Federal Courthouse downtown #LiveOnK2
Protesters in Lownsdale Square Park and Chapman Square in Portland were cleared out and told to stay out of the street. I’ve seen 5 arrests total by Portland Police #LiveOnK2
Longer clip. This was part of a Facebook Live I was shooting.
Prior to the tackle, the bicyclist was riding up SW 4th in downtown Portland, when an officer made a move towards him.
When he turned back down the street- they took him down.
We've reached out to PPB for more info
