Police Arrest Protesters in Seattle

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle police say they arrested nine people during anti-capitalist protests that injured five officers on May Day.

Authorities say eight males and one juvenile female were arrested Sunday evening. The charges included obstruction, assault and property destruction.

Police also said one officer suffered a head laceration after being struck by a rock, one was hit by a Molotv cocktail and hurt but not burned and another officer was bitten. Details on the other two injuries were not immediately available but Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole said there were no serious injuries.

The rowdy evening march followed a peaceful gathering in Seattle earlier by supporters of immigrants and workers.

Demonstrations also took place Sunday in Portland, Oregon, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland, California.
