A sling shot-wielding psycho was arrested for launching metal objects at Los Angeles police officers during a violent anti-ICE protest Friday evening.

The suspect, who was not identified in an X post from the LAPD, was one of at least five busted during the wild demonstration that saw agitators in a hostile standoff with federal officers outside the detention center in downtown LA.

Most of the crowd covered their faces with masks or scarves, and some used gas masks.
