A Florida protest turned violent Friday, as activists gathered in Jacksonville, New York City, Philadelphia, Newark , Chicago, Detroit, Boston and other cities to demonstrate against the U.S. attack on Syria .

Six people were arrested in Jacksonville where up to 200 people were protesting after protesters supporting President Donald Trump and demonstrators opposed to the military action turned riotous and attacked one another and police in downtown Hemming Plaza, according to the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office, First Coast News reported.

There was also some tension in Detroit, where more than 30 people protesting Thursdays U.S. missile strike on the Shayrat Air Base , near Homs, turned out at Grand Martius Park downtown.

At one point they were heckled by some Detroit Tigers fans leaving a game. Bomb Syria, shouted one fan, reported MLive.com, though most supporters merely watched.
