Seattle police arrested five demonstrators at an election night protest near the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood, authorities said. The suspects were taken into custody for property damage after leaving anarchist and pro-Palestinian graffiti on public property, according to the Seattle Police Department.

The Seattle Police Department posted on social media at 6:45 p.m. that arrests were being made for property damage as the protest made its way south along 12 Ave E./E Pike St. Announcements were made to the crowd via loudspeakers.

According to The Seattle Times, at least a couple dozen people dressed in black had gathered in Capitol Hill, near where the infamous 'autonomous zone' was established in 2020 during the George Floyd riots. Police reported that the group had dwindled to a 'dozen people' shortly after arrests began and by 6:17 p.m., the group had broken up.

The protesters were not identified with any major party candidate or campaign for political office.
