Police, Trump supporters clash in Oregon
Looking at material from the area of the event turns up:
Quote:
Police moved to press left-wing protesters away after several minutes. Officers shoved some protesters as they shouted “Move!" Police ordered people to leave the road, then started walking toward the crowd again. Officers detained at least two people. When they retreated again, protesters followed and chanted, “Who do you serve? Who do you protect?” The two sides faced off for several minutes, until marchers started walking away. Most officers left by 6:45 p.m.
Salem Police said Friday that they had increased the number of officers on duty and activated its special teams, the Salem Statesman Journal reported, after city leaders warned of a “credible threat of vandalism and property damage.” Officials said activity associated with the possible threat is not connected to any local community organizers and said they did not find a political affiliation.
After the dueling demonstrations ended Saturday, police said they arrested four people over the course of the day: two people during the afternoon on fourth-degree assault and unlawful weapons possession charges and two people at night on disorderly conduct charges. Police did not describe the circumstances of any arrest or say what group each person arrested was associated with.

Given the lighting in the photograph, this arrest would either have been from the first paragraph, or one of the "disorderly conduct charges" from the night.
