A reporter following the protest shows video of the riot police line moving to force protesters back. Then notes that during this, a teenage girl is grabbed, thrown to the ground and surrounded.
On video, protesters can be heard yelling "You feel big hitting a little woman like that?"
An additional angle provided by the girl's sister shows numerous officers lifting her off the ground and dragging her behind the police line, after which the line closes to obfuscate any view of her.
