Dozens of Donald Trump supporters clashed with counter-protesters in New York City leading to at least three arrests.

Around 50 pro-Trump demonstrators, many wearing Make America Great Again hats and waving American flags, marched through Manhattan around City Hall and Wall Street on Wednesday afternoon.

They chanted the Pledge of Allegiance and some were carrying a ‘Trump: Law and Order’ banner.

The group was afforded tight police protection, with officers wearing blue riot helmets escorting them through the streets from around 4pm.
