CBS4 Crew Witnesses Armed Man Arrested During Denver Protests

DENVER (CBS4) - One man was arrested by Denver police Wednesday night after he appeared near protesters armed with a gun. CBS4 was at the scene as the man put his gun down, surrendered to officers and was arrested.

The tension comes after an evening of protests in the name of Breonna Taylor who was shot and killed after a police raid in Louisville, KY in March.

Details about the armed man in Denver have not been released by police officials.

The arrest comes near the District 6 police station. CBS4's Andrea Flores reports protesters are moving in the area and pepper balls were deployed.

Some protesters reportedly threw objects, although it's not clear their target.

Roads were closed in the area.
