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.

I dunno, I was still laughing just as hard while he was limping off, only to go down again behind the crowd lining the curb. MOMMA!
PRICELESS!
Who is that walking next to him his kid? Little brother?
I’m still taken aback how old some of these degenerates seem to be. Now, do not get me wrong, he looks in his late twenties which I have seen in ten years BUT, too old to be dressing up like it’s Halloween throwing rocks and pee bottles at the police. Dumbass white dude.
Just go get a career and a family. Embarrassing.
Hilarious! Great pepperperp walk!
The other no brainer with him could NOT keep his pants on without holding them! LOL!
Wish he and his great balls of fire would end up in the clink too. But it’s liberal Phoenix, AZ, so he’ll probably pay only with crotch ache, but it’s a start.
Maybe has a career and Family that is why does not want name released. 4Chan will expose him
It’s been released. This pu$$y is called Joshua Stuart Cobin.

He was wearing a gas mask in the video. If he was wearing it properly, how did he inhale pepper spray?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Probably had to pull it off when throwing up (or close to it) from being shot in the balls would be my guess.
If he can no longer reproduce due to damage suffered, I would say yes. Maybe even get extra points for surviving the affair.
“The protester said he didn’t intend to hurt anyone. “
Yea sure, BULL$HIT! He was high on a feeling, that the mob has my back feeling.
Makes me smile that he got second degree burns from his action. The pepper balls is the junk is an added smile. Must of missed the part about how hot gas canisters are in the briefing. Oh and his gas mask didn’t work? Interesting.
I hope they charge him - then that want goes away.
lol.....Good one.
PepperBalls wasn’t trained on the correct (and effective) wear of a gas mask. To prevent leakage (inhalation), a good seal around the mask is required.
Facial hair WILL prevent a good seal. He wasn’t wearing it properly.
If he was arrested his name is public record.
