Over two dozen people were arrested Monday night after Black Lives Matter protesters sparred with New York City Police Department officers.

Hundreds of Black Lives Matter demonstrators began to march through Brooklyn around 8:30 p.m. for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and they eventually made their way to Manhattan, according to NBC New York. Twenty-eight protesters were arrested, and at least 10 officers were injured during a violent confrontation near City Hall Park.

One officer, a captain, was reportedly bashed in the helmet with a bottle.

Video of the incident shows NYPD forces, some clad in riot gear, grabbing and pushing demonstrators who yelled expletives. Other footage shows a group of police officers bringing one activist to the ground.

New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against the department last week for "using excessive, brutal, and unlawful force" against "peaceful protesters" in the boroughs since last summer. James's move followed the release of a 115-page report claiming that law enforcement "contributed to heightened tensions" and violated "the rights of protesters."

President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be his assistant secretary of health, leaving her poised to become the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the US Senate.

A paediatrician and former Pennsylvania physician general, Levine was appointed to her current post by Democratic Gov Tom Wolf in 2017, making her one of the few transgender people serving in elected or appointed positions nationwide.

She won past confirmation by the Republican-majority Pennsylvania Senate and has emerged as the public face of the state's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond," Biden said in a statement.
