Clashes Break Out at Anti-Mask Protest in Boston

Police in riot gear broke up clashes between protest groups at an anti-vaccine and mask rally in Boston, Massachusetts, on November 7.

According to a report by the Boston Herald citing authorities, riot police moved in to break up clashes and arrested two people.
