It is true that there were roughly one or two hundred men present. One person punched an officer (and got arrested for that), a handful of people were kindly driven off to a different location to disperse them, and a small number of people were charged for carrying knives in public. No person of immigrant origin (or any other than the police officer) was reported as having been assaulted. They handed out fliers stating that the illegal street urchins/men would be "getting what is coming to them" etc, basically inciting violence. Now, if police had not interfered it is likely something horrible would have happened. But it didn't.
