The far-right extremist group Proud Boys has been removed from Facebook following a brawl in Manhattan that led to at least six arrests.

The group and its founder, Gavin McInnes, were banned from the social media platform on Tuesday as part of the company’s effort to remove hate speech and hate organizations from its site.

“We’re in the process of removing The Proud Boys and Gavin McInnes from Facebook and Instagram in line with our policies against hate organizations and figures,” a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement.

The site will also remove any “praise and support” for the group once it becomes aware of it.

“We will continue to review content, Pages, and people that violate our policies, take action against hate speech and hate organizations to help keep our community safe,” the company said.

The action from Facebook comes after members of Proud Boys were arrested and charged with riot and assault after a clash with protesters near the Metropolitan Republican Club on the Upper East Side on Oct. 12.
