Protesters were ordered to disperse.

Following orders to move to the sidewalk, marchers were ordered by Pittsburgh Police to disperse. This happened as the march was approximately at Fifth and Bellefield Avenues.

A supervising officer spoke up and asked police officers to take it easy on the marchers. One individual was arrested.

It was reported that the arrestee was walking very close to the curb and was struck by a police car. The individual was alleged to have been attempting to write down the licence plate number of the police car when he was arrested.

Marchers made plans to reconverge at Project 1877 later.
