Bystanders captured several different angles of the incident on video, which went viral online.

Bystanders apprehended Dempsey and brought him to a police station which was, fortunately, mere feet away.
There, he was arrested on "suspicion of illegal use of tear gas, assault with a caustic chemical and parole violations."
The crowd can be heard cheering as he is cuffed.
Dempsey tells the police that he was"attacked" by "libtards" and "flag-burning commies."
He is now being held without bail and is scheduled to appear before a judge on Tuesday, October 22.
Thankfully, no one was seriously injured by Dempsey's attacked, though five people were treated for exposure to the spray, which often contains "hot-pepper aerosol."
