However, a spokeswoman for the Alameda County District Attorney's office said no one has been formally charged yet because Berkeley police are still reviewing video and social media evidence and may make additional arrests.

The arrested protester who wasn't named by Berkeley police was a 17-year-old girl who was arrested on suspicion of battery.

The protests, which were similar to ones at the same park on March 4, started Saturday morning at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park at 2151 Martin Luther King Jr. Way. and spread to city streets.
