at Saturday’s demonstration, which was aimed at protesting Sharia, Islamic law, and was part of a nationwide network of protests organized by ACT for America, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reports.

One of those arrested was Lisa Joy Simon, 23, PennLive.com reports. Simon, from Philadelphia, was one of several people at the event observed carrying weapons, including sharpened bamboo poles and baseball bats, according to PennLive.

According to police reports, a state police corporal mounted on a police horse, Sampson, was trying to move the crowd from the protest onto the sidewalk when Simon hit Sampson with a flagpole that had a half-inch silver nail sticking out of the top, per the Philly Voice.

Police officers then attempted to arrest Simon, who resisted. Photos from PennLive show that she had to be tackled to the ground.

According to court records, Simon now faces five charges: aggravated assault, causing trauma to police animals, using an offensive weapon, obstructing coppers from performing their duties, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

It is unclear if Simon was part of the original anti-Sharia protest or the counter-protest against it.

According to police, both Sampson and the officer riding him suffered minimal injuries and were able to continue working. Simon, meanwhile, is being held on $100,000 bail.
