Nohelani Graf, a reporter/anchor with ABC 15 in Phoenix, tweeted photos, writing that protesters had being pepper sprayed.
Chief Yahner said the protest was \"successful\" in having the demonstrators' message heard, but the time had come to disperse the crowd.
As of 10:45 p.m. Friday local time, Phoenix Police Chief Joe Yahner said there were no arrest or injuries.
Civil rights leader Rev. Jarrett Maupin helped lead the march, which kicked off at 8 p.m. outside Phoenix City Hall. Maupin had said they were changing the march route to shut down Interstate 10.
By 11 p.m. local time, police had declared the gathering to be an \"unlawful assembly.\"
Damon Cecil, the PIO for the Arizona State Troopers, announced on Twitter that protesters had thrown rocks at police officers, and that one protester had been placed into custody as a result of an altercation with police.
