KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Authorities are investigating after the homeless protest in Bronson Park turned violent.
Kalamazoo Public Safety officers say an argument broke out around midnight Friday between residents camping in the park.
That’s when a man pulled out a box cutter and injured two victims.
The suspect was arrested for felonious assault.
One person was taken to the hospital and another victim was treated at the scene, both with non-life-threatening injuries.
The protesters have been camping around Kalamazoo for weeks demanding that city officials need to properly address the ongoing homeless issue after the commission attempted to decriminalize park rules in late August.
