Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other alt-right factions scuffled with counter-demonstrators near Emancipation Park (Formerly "Lee Park") in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia. After fighting between factions escalated, Virginia State Police ordered the evacuation by all parties and cancellation of the "Unite The Right" rally scheduled to take place in the park. Following the expulsion by the police, over 20 demonstrators were ran over by an automobile on a nearby street.
