Fights broke out and over a dozen people were arrested Monday when Antifa protesters confronted police, as they marched toward the Michigan State University Pavilion where Richard Spencer was scheduled to speak.

Protesters also threw rocks and bottles at Spencer supporters, many of whom fled the violence.
