The people arrested were San Jose residents Robert Trillo, 18, Antonio Fernandez, 19, and Santa Clara resident Ahmed Abdirahman, 19, on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, police said. Michael Kitaigorodsky, 19, also of San Jose, was also taken into custody for allegedly refusing to disperse, according to police.
Two San Jose juveniles, ages 16 and 17, were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and a 16-year-old Milpitas resident was arrested on suspicion of battery, police said.
The large rally left a police officer with a minor injury to his wrist after someone threw a metal object at him, according to police. About 300 to 400 people protested outside the rally for the presumed Republican presidential nominee, who had been expected to draw 12,000 to 15,000 supporters.
