'F**k you, bit**': Anti-Israel protests erupts into violence outside the DNC Headquarters in DC – sparking police to make dozens of arrests as activists try to storm the building

A pro-Palestine protest outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington D.C. has erupted into violence.

Police have already made several arrests after 150 activists ‘violently’ attempted to storm the building on Wednesday night.

Hundreds of protesters gathered to call for a ceasefire in the Israel Gaza conflict, but clashes quickly began between demonstrators and DC Metro police.

Shocking footage from the scene shows police attempting to drag protesters away from the entrance to the DNC building as they chant ‘let us live’.

The U.S. Capitol Police is now urging the public to avoid the area amid the chaos.

Some protesters claimed that police have ‘shoved’ activists down the stairs amid the chaos

In the video, an attendee of the protest claims that police have been ‘shoving’ people down stairs amid the clashes.

‘We’re outside the Democratic Party headquarters because this party claims to be on the side of life and peace and equality and we’re saying we want them to live up to their values and call for a ceasefire in this horrific war,’ she says.

‘We are being responded to by police shoving anti-war activists down the stairs, shoving peaceful protests back with their bikes.’
