Police make an arrest in the aftermath of a large protest after Wigstock in 1989. Mark Carson of ACT UP was arrested when NYPD claimed he was interfering with the arrest of two men who had attacked Karl Soehnlein, Alan Klein and Darren Britton with lacrosse sticks. His arrest prompted a protest march of 200 people to the 9th Precinct, (though he'd actually been taken to the 7th Precinct)
