A Miami Police officer reportedly suffered minor injuries, and as many as three people are under arrest after a series of May 1st protests led by Occupy Miami.

The group told NBC 6 it set out to follow the lead of nations around the world in observing the May 1st labor holiday, established to pay tribute to the sacrifices of common workers.

Around 3 p.m., a march near SE 2nd Avenue and SE 4th Street took a violent turn, with demonstrators and Miami Police clashing in the streets. Several demonstrators caught the event on their cell phone cameras and told NBC 6 that at least one protester was arrested.

Police said that they arrested Rolando Prieto, 23, of Miami at that location for inciting a riot and obstructing a public right of way. He blocked a police car in the street and repeatedly did not comply with an officers orders that he move, saying, Im not moving from the road, Im a taxpayer, police said in an arrest report.

As he was being arrested, Prieto began to yell and called for the crowd to protest in the road, police added.

Police also said they arrested protester Brian Tangherlin, 22, of Miami for obstructing a public right of way and resisting arrest with violence. He stepped into the street and blocked traffic after police told him several times not to while they were making an arrest, pulled away from police when they tried to take him into custody, and resisted violently during a brief struggle on the ground in which he struck an officers rib with his knee, according to police.

Just after 6 p.m., another demonstrator was arrested in the parking lot across the street from Bayfront Park, where Occupy protests had been going on for hours.
