Multiple People, Including Activist Dominique Alexander, Detained After Incident At Rally In Downtown Dallas

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Multiple people, including activist Dominique Alexander, were detained Saturday following an incident at a rally in Downtown Dallas.

The incident was captured on video and showed Alexander, also the president of the Next Generation Action Network, and a group of counter-protesters walking up to a rally. Alexander was then seen being forced back by a person, which then led to a physical altercation between the two.

The incident happened during a Rescue America rally at the Main Street Garden Park in the downtown area. According to its website, the group holds rallies "pushing back on the radical Left."

However, police later said Alexander was arrested for outstanding warrants.

Supporters of Alexander could be seen outside the headquarters through the afternoon and into the evening, calling for his release.
