Police broke up a fight involving a man with an ax in the middle of a rally against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus emergency orders Thursday.
A spokesman for the Michigan State Police Department said one of the attendees tried to take a sign out of another demonstrator’s hand and a fight ensued among the crowd outside the state Capitol in Lansing. One of those involved was carrying an ax and the entire incident was caught on video and posted to social media.
„The ax was safely turned into law enforcement. There were no injuries,“ the Michigan State Police department tweeted Thursday morning, adding that no arrests were made.
A spokesman for the department said the investigation is ongoing and couldn’t provide more details about the skirmish.
MLive reported that one of its photographers saw the fight and that the sign in question was an American flag that had a naked doll hanging from its neck in a noose.
