A large group of people carrying flags and shields marched along downtown Boston's Freedom Trail Saturday, according to the Boston Police Department -- and video footage of the group obtained by CNN shows the flags bearing the symbol of the White nationalist Patriot Front group.
Police received a call at 12:30 p.m. that around 100 people were protesting, walking on Congress Street toward the Old State House and City Hall Plaza, BPD Officer Kim Tavares told CNN. No arrests were made, nor was their route known, Tavares said. The group eventually boarded a train and departed from the scene, the officer added.
Social media video posted online shows dozens of individuals clutching shields and at least two different flags, including Patriot Front flags and upside-down US flags. Last month, a group believed to be affiliated with the Patriot Front was arrested after authorities said they planned to riot at a Pride event in Idaho.
