The small crowd began arguing on the steps of Newark City Hall on Wednesday about the city&rsquo;s attempts to curb violence. The demonstration was organised by two anti-violence groups.
They say they wanted to urge Mayor Ras Baraka to put his &ldquo;quality of life plan&rdquo; into action to help address violence in the city. A group of Baraka supporters appeared and an argument ensued. At one point, one man put his hands around another&rsquo;s neck and pushed him to the ground.
Organisers and other participants said the skirmish lasted only a few minutes, and there were no serious injuries. Baraka says the scuffle is being investigated by Newark police and called it &ldquo;disheartening.&rdquo;
