The incident happened last week in Harlem during a man-on-the-street interview that was captured on camera.
Shortly after hearing the news, Craven Antao took to Instagram to announce the arrest.
Detectives just informed me that Brianna J. Rivers had been taken into custody! The author wrote, “God is good.” She used the hashtags #BlueLivesMatter, #JusticeIsServed, and #ThankYouGod in her caption.
The confrontation started when Craven Antao asked Rivers about her opinions on Planned Parenthood and abortion. The discussion swiftly became heated.
During the interview, Rivers can be seen to become noticeably upset on camera.
