Police on Saturday identified three Manhattan residents arrested in connection with violent Tyre Nichols demonstrations in Times Square.
The trio was handcuffed in the Crossroads of the World after protests of the police-beating death of Nichols turned violent.
The Times Square protest was one of several that erupted in the Big Apple as the sun went down. Others originated in Union Square and Grand Central Terminal.
