The police in Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon arrested about 100 protesters on Friday night amid a new wave of protests over the death of George Floyd.

Local police said on Saturday that a group of protesters began marching in northwest Portland and blocked traffic at 9 p.m. on Friday. Some began breaking building windows shortly after.

Thirteen individuals have been charged with committing crimes, the police said.
