(UDHAYAM, WASHINGTON, DC) – Nine people were injured during a protest outside of the residence of the Turkish Ambassador in Washington, DC on Tuesday (16), according to the official Twitter account of Washington, DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department.
About two dozen demonstrators showed up outside of the Embassy just hours after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with President Donald Trump at the White House.
“We are protesting (Erdogan’s) policies in Turkey, in Syria and in Iraq,” said Flint Arthur of Baltimore, Maryland.
Arthur accused Erdogan supporters of breaching police lines and attacking protesters on at least three separate occasions.
A Facebook video captured at the scene shows several protesters covered in blood.
