NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter Chiara, 25, is arrested during George Floyd protest in Manhattan

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter was reportedly arrested at a George Floyd protest in Manhattan on Saturday night.  

Chiara de Blasio, 25, was taken into custody around 10.30pm after cops infiltrated an ‘unlawful assembly’ at 12th Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan, police sources say.  

‘That was a real hotspot, police cars were getting burned there, people were throwing and yelling, fighting with cops,’ a source told the New York Post.

‘There were thousands of people in that area at that time.’ 

Chiara reportedly said her address was 181 East End Avenue – the mayor’s residence at Gracie Mansion.  

Her arrest came about an hour before de Blasio warned protesters to ‘go home’.  

‘We appreciate and respect all peaceful protests, but now it is time for people to go home,’ the mayor said at a 11.30pm press conference in downtown Brooklyn.  

‘If you went out peacefully to make a point about the need for change, you have been heard and change is coming in the city. I have no doubt about that. It’s time to go home so we can all move forward.’ 

This is a developing story.
