An anti-Trump protester has been arrested and charged in New York City after spitting in a police officer's face as demonstrators gathered in cities across the country with the outcome of the presidential election still uncertain. Devina Singh, 24, was among the 57 people arrested in New York City on Wednesday night after she was filmed in Manhattan's West Village neighborhood screaming 'f**k you fascist' at an NYPD officer before spitting in his face. The arrests happened after hundreds of marchers demanding the counting of every presidential election vote converged on Manhattan's Washington Square Park, where a smaller group rallied against police misconduct. Some of the people arrested were throwing eggs at officers and one person was breaking a store window, police said. 'Our president seems to be making such a big deal about it and we need to clarify what the vote count is for.
