A man the police believe is a member of the Proud Boys, a far-right group that clashed with protesters in a brawl last week in Manhattan, was arrested Thursday, the police said.

The man, Geoffrey Young, 38, of New City, N.Y., was arrested at his home and charged with rioting and attempted assault. The police are still investigating the fight, which happened as people associated with the Proud Boys were leaving an event at the Metropolitan Republican Club last Friday.

Videos show a heavy police presence as the group’s founder, Gavin McInnes, left the event, with dozens of protesters gathered behind a police barricade across the street.

Deborah Coughlin, the president of the Metropolitan Republican Club, said she had received hostile phone calls from people demanding the event’s cancellation last week, and she contacted the police the day before the event. Early on the morning of the event, vandals spray-painted anti-fascist graffiti on the club’s doors, glued the locks with caulk and threw bricks through the windows, the police said.
