Multiple rallies were planned in the city for Sunday, the first being an anti-police brutality rally, which was organized by Direct Action Alliance and Empower Portland at 2 p.m. local time.
The right-wing Patriot Prayer group was scheduled to begin at 5 p.m., and the self-described anti-fascist activists Antifa planned to counter-protest the group by joining with Direct Action Alliance and Empower Portland. 
The competing rallies resulted in clashes among hundreds of people, according to local media reports.

Pepper spray was reportedly used on numerous demonstrators, according to Portland's CBS affiliate. 
The protests come one-year after pro-Trump supporters clashed with counter-protesters in Portland, resulting in 14 arrests.
