Police say they arrested four people, charging them with disorderly conduct and inciting a riot during a street party held after Sunday’s Puerto Rican Day Parade in Manhattan. Police claim that party goers attacked them while witnesses say that women and children were pepper sprayed, and cameras which videotaped the police were confiscated.
