A city of Ferguson spokesman says a commotion involving dozens of people has broken out at a town hall meeting.
Jeff Small told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch 20 to 30 protesters seeking a recall of Mayor James Knowles the Third clashed with supporters of Knowles during the meeting at the Ferguson Community Center. He said both sides made allegations of assault, though no one reported an injury.
The newspaper reported at least three arrests were made but two people were released in the parking lot.
Knowles, who's white, has been criticized for comments he made after last August's shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black and unarmed, by a white police officer. He's said he has no plans to step down.
