Trump supporters were bombarded with fireworks while dining at a Washington DC restaurant following Saturday’s “MAGA Million March” in the nation’s capital — one of several outbreaks of violence at the demonstration, according to reports.

Footage from the encounters shows a small group of Trump supporters sitting outside an eatery near the White House when a large crowd surrounds the patio and exchanges words with three diners, a video posted on Twitter by NBC reporter Shomari Stone shows.

Other diners begin to leave as counter-protesters can be seen hurling debris — and then fireworks — into the patio, lighting it up with sparks and forcing the last three Trump supporters to walk away.

“Trump supporters are eating outside at a restaurant, 2 blocks from the White House,” Stone wrote in the post. “16th & K St. A large group confronts them. Someone throws what appears to be fireworks. Moments later, police push back a crowd that wants to confront Trump supporters.”

Elsewhere in the city, anti-Trump protesters also threw liquid and other items as the pro-Trump rally broke up, while others snatched Trump flags and hats as the demonstration wound down, Insider said in a report.

Metro Police said Sunday that there were 21 arrests during the unrest, with one person stabbed.

Six people were hit with weapons charges, including four for carrying guns without a permit or license, and two were charged with assaulting a police officer. Several others were charged with assault, theft, or disorderly conduct.

Police did not specify the politics of those arrested.
