Phoenix police said they arrested the man who was hit by a gas round during the Trump protest after kicking a gas can toward officers on Tuesday night.
Police said he's still being interviewed and hasn't been booked on any charges yet.
When 3TV/CBS 5 talked to him on Wednesday, he asked us not to use his name. Phoenix police haven't identified him.

The man was caught on video, that has since gone viral, kicking a can of tear gas back at police officers. They returned the favor with a nonlethal round that hit him in the pelvic area and he went straight to the ground.
A man in a Colin Kaepernick jersey helped him out of the line of fire.

He spent Tuesday night in the emergency room for inhaling pepper spray and second-degree burns from picking up a hot can of tear gas.
The incident happened after police said protesters threw rocks, bottles and gas at them so they used tear gas and pepper balls to disperse the crowd.

We talked to an attorney on Wednesday night who said the protester would likely not face any legal trouble for kicking the tear gas back at police since it would be tough to prove he tried to hurt an officer.
The protester said he didn't intend to hurt anyone.

Thats going to leave a mark. Looks like he’s a good candidate for the Amateur Film Actors Group also know as AFAG.
Don’t worry, he had plenty of rolls of fat protecting his nards.
Ow!!
Pepper Balls may even be a more embarrassing name than Tazerface.
Can someone please sync the video of him to “I Fought the Law?
oh he does not want his name released, . Yet another left wing coward
Is this one of the peaceful anti-Fascist counter-protesters they talk about in the news?
He’s famous, the new Looter Guy.
Neuter guy.
I think they arrested him just so they could make fun of him down at the station.
Does he qualify for a Darwin Award*?

The candidate must remove himself from the gene pool.
Big Giant Head
The Steve Bartman of Antifa.
Does removing “the boys” from the gene pool count?
A lot of times these sjw dopes fill those bottles with urine. Watch how he spills the bottle and rolls in it when he drops.
Beer guy from Hurricane Katrina.
“He didn’t mean to hurt the police.” Boo fricken who.
Then why was he part of that crowd of savages, why didn’t he obey the police’s repeated orders to disperse?
Shoot him in the crotch again. And then again.
Ping. Smoking balls
1. Inhale pepper spray fumes
2. Slightly burn hand
3. Hit in balls
THIS requires a hospital visit..????
Then I’m the Terminator.
That’s ridiculous, what a pussy.
He clearly kicked the tear gas canister towards the police.
So we can assume he intended them harm.
Nice shot by the cops. Ouch!
