Supporters of United States President Donald Trump clashed with anti-Trump demonstrators during the weekend in Washington, DC, leading to dozens of arrests, several stabbings and injuries to police officers, in disturbances hours after rallies in support of his baseless claims that he won a second term.

The violence broke out late on Saturday. Four men were stabbed after a fight downtown, police said. At least one suspect, 29-year-old Phillip Johnson of Washington, was arrested on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
