A protest Thursday night in Fontana over the death of George Floyd resulted in several vandalism-related arrests, according to the police department.
Floyd, a 46-year-old man from Minnesota, died on Monday after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck. Floyd’s death has sparked protests against police violence throughout the country.
Protesters gathered on Sierra Avenue, between Arrow Boulevard and Ceres Avenue at around 6 p.m., according to reports from social media. The protesters carried signs that said “Black Lives Matter” and signs with Floyd’s name.
