The former leader of the far-right Proud Boys was arrested on Friday outside the US Capitol, police said.
Enrique Tarrio, who was pardoned by President Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 riot at the US Capitol, was arrested not long after holding a news conference on Friday.
Protesters attempted to drown out the event, held near the site of the riot, but Tarrio’s remarks to media went ahead as planned.
