It was not immediately what caused the clashes.

Thousands of people had marched and celebrated at a series of events in New York City Sunday as its annual LGBTQ Pride parade was being held virtually for the second year in a row due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event was presented as a television broadcast special -- because the now-lifted pandemic restrictions were still in effect when it was being planned.
