HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – At least three people arrested during a "Make America Great" rally at Bolsa Chica State Beach were facing felony charges and one reporter and two photographers allegedly were assaulted by pro-Trump demonstrators, according to published reports.

Three of the four people arrested have been charged with felony illegal use of pepper spray and a woman was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor assault and battery, the Orange County Register reported Sunday. Initially, six people were detained. Four of the six were arrested, including the three on suspicion of illegal use of pepper spray, a felony, and the woman suspected of misdemeanor assault and battery, State Parks Police Capt. Kevin Pearsall said.

An OC Weekly reporter and two photographers told the Los Angeles Times they were physically assaulted by pro-Trump demonstrators at a Make America Great Again rally in Huntington Beach and were seeking the public's help in identifying at least one of the people responsible. Frank Tristan -- an intern at the OC Weekly -- and photographers Julie Leopo and Brian Feinzimer allegedly were attacked before one of several counter- demonstrators pepper-sprayed an organizer of Saturday's event, the newspaper reported.

After organizer Jennifer Sterling was pepper-sprayed, several fights broke out. OC Weekly editor Gustavo Arellano alleges that a video of the confrontation shows Sterling trying to intervene after a Trump supporter pushed and shoved Feinzimer, who was shooting pictures of Leopo being hit with an American flag, then repeatedly punched Tristan.

A moment later, Sterling is pepper-sprayed and can be seen staggering and rubbing her eyes before falling to the ground Arellano said.

"My photographers and intern were just trying to do their jobs," Arellano said in a statement Sunday. "For that, they got harassed by Trump supporters, then shoved and punched when they tried to defend each other. I'm proud of them."

The Saturday rally, one of several held nationwide, was organized by supporters of President Donald Trump who also wanted to show their respect for veterans, law enforcement and first responders.

"We love our country and we want to show gratitude to the men and women who put their own lives on the line every day," the organizers said in a pre- march statement.
