Clashes have reportedly erupted during the “We Choose Freedom” rally as people have been marching from Stonewall Inn.

NYPD officers were filmed trying to cycle their way through packed crowds as they called on the people around to “move back” to sidewalks. This follows Wednesday night clashes near the West Village and Union Square that had led to at least 25 arrests.
