BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Protestors at a 'Black Lives Matter' demonstration in Bloomington Monday evening damaged property according to Indiana University police. 

Police say a car windshield was broken and other property was reportedly damaged by the protestors during a march after the demonstration. 

The demonstration was put on by the students against state violence group.

There was one tense scene during the protest when a person tried to get through the group in their vehicle. They honked and began driving through the crowd, but quickly stopped. Protesters yelled and eventually got the driver to turn around.

Hundreds gathered Monday evening by the sample gates on East Kirkwood Avenue to remember the lives of 5 men and one teen who were killed by police officers. 

Following the rally the group planned a march down the streets of Bloomington that ended at the police station.

During that march traffic was blocked in several locations until the crowd finally dispersed around 8:30 p.m.

No serious injuries were reported and no arrests were made.
