Two young girls, ages 8 and 11, were among those treated after being pepper sprayed Tuesday when a clash between Donald Trump supporters and protesters turned violent in front of city hall in Anaheim, California.
The confrontation happened before the city council was slated to take up a resolution to formally denounce the Republican frontrunnner’s rhetoric.
Five people were hit after an anti-Trump protester deployed pepper spray on Trump supporters, according to the Associated Press. Police are looking for the suspect but said no arrests were made at the protest.
Linda Reedy, a local resident and member of pro-Trump group We the People Rising, said her friends were “goaded” into run-ins with anti-Trump protesters.
“I just think they’re so out of control,” Reedy, who was among those hit by pepper spray, told the Los Angeles Times. “I’m so sick of the anger in this country.”
After a heated four-hour-long debate, the Anaheim city council eventually voted to take no action on the resolution, the paper reported.
