One policeman was struck on the forehead by a brick, and several of the police scout cars were set on fire. Mayor Young took no time in getting to the scene. He remained there most of the night. Police Chief Tanyon was one of the five hundred Detroit policemen who patrolled the area most of the night. Many of them were quickly mobilised from Coball Hall where they had been assigned to patrol a rock concert." POLICEMAN: "Up here all you Coball Central Rangers... come on up here. All Central Rangers up here." SCHATZ: "Police arrested more than fifty people, most of them for looting.
