The annual Trans March in San Francisco’s Tenderloin descended into chaos Friday night after marchers clashed with police during a tense arrest, according to video and witness accounts.

The confrontation erupted when officers moved to arrest a person allegedly caught spray-painting a building, witnesses told the San Francisco Chronicle. Dramatic footage shows several officers wrestling a man to the ground as furious marchers surrounded the scene, shouting at police and objecting to the arrest.

“Get off them!” the video recorder is heard screaming alongside others who are also shouting loudly at the police.

One person in the video seemingly tries to intervene before an officer pushes him away, knocking him to the ground.
