The Stockton California Police Department arrested 12 protesters Tuesday night for disrupting a Stockton City Council meeting.

Protests began after Mayor Michael Tubbs requested overflow seating be moved from outside the chamber doors to the first floor of City Hall, KTXL reports.

According to authorities, an uninvolved man, who appeared to be a transient, was attacked in the MLK Plaza across from City Hall.

Three people were arrested and two escaped the scene. 

Shortly after the attack, other protestors blocked traffic in the streets.

Several protestors were charged with resisting arrest and blocking traffic by attempting to walk on the freeway, according to KTXL.
