New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's daughter was among those 
arrested during protests over the weekend.

On Saturday night, Chiara de Blasio, 25, was taken into custody 
at about 10:30 p.m. local time, the New York City Police Department 
confirmed to PEOPLE. She was arrested for unlawful assembly, 
police said, then issued a desk appearance ticket and released.

The gathering was in Lower Manhattan, according to 
the New York Post, which first reported that Chiara was allegedly 
blocking traffic and refused to move.

According to WCMH, at least 345 people were arrested in 
New York City on Saturday during gatherings throughout the city. 
The Mayor — who also shares son Dante with 
wife Chirlane McCray — has not addressed his daughter's arrest, 
but spoke about the protests during a press conference on Saturday.


"To the peaceful protesters ... let me be very clear: we hear your 
desire to change these issues, the relationship between police and 
community, the need for justice, the need for real change in our 
society," de Blasio, 59, said. "We hear you loud and clear."

Added the Mayor: "We appreciate and respect all peaceful protest. ... 
Change is coming in this city."
