Fallout from assault on conservative journalist in Portland, Oregon.
Authorities in Oregon released additional photos Tuesday of people believed to have been involved in violent Antifa-led attacks last weekend that injured several conservative demonstrators -- and at least one journalist -- as new details of some of the assaults have been revealed.
Three people have been arrested so far in connection with the violence, during which members of Antifa and other leftist groups were seen on video beating, berating and hurling objects at members of the rightwing Proud Boys group and other conservatives protesters Saturday in downtown Portland.

Conservatives organizing march against Antifa after Portland violence
The fallout continues after the vicious attacks on conservative journalist Andy Ngo; William La Jeuneese reports.
Authorities have said that a number of people in the crowd concealed and brandished weapons, including "batons, projectiles, and firearms." Multiple assaults were reported Saturday, as projectiles were thrown at demonstrators and police, in addition to pepper and bear spray used by people in the crowd.
Sam Resnick, who told The Oregonian he is a self-described genderqueer activist, was walking towards a coffee shop wearing an American flag dress when Antifa members started shouting, shoved him and "someone put their hands on me."
Resnick said a white-haired man went to intervene but then was attacked by the mob.

Officials work to identify additional suspects believe to be involved in crimes during protests that turned violent in downtown Portland.
“It seemed he was defending me because I was a man in a dress,” Resnick told the Oregonian. “I guess he saw what he thought was an injustice.’’
The man who defended Resnick could be seen in videos posted to Twitter being struck multiple times with a baton by black-clad protesters.
Another man who was attacked by Antifa members, Alex Kelly, told the Oregonian he sustained a concussion and needed 25 staples to the head after being hit repeatedly with a baton.
