In the city's Lawrenceville district, about a mile from the summit venue, police deployed tear gas in order to disperse crowds after warning everyone in the area to "leave the immediate vicinity regardless of your purpose." Protestors responded by throwing bottles at the officer.
Those gathered came from a variety of groups and causes, including
Code Pink – which is a female-led anti-war group - Greenpeace, and some calling themselves the G20 Resistance Project.
