The hammer guy was beating on the curb to break off chunks of concrete with which he would enable others to hurl at windows and police.  Naturally the protestors are annoyed by anarchists and looters, both of which discredit their message.  So, the nabbed the sleazeball and handed him over.  Good for them.
