Fresno police say Fonseca was upset about traffic being blocked by the rally at the intersection of Blackstone and Nees in north Fresno. Organizers of the protest, which was held in support of Armenia in its ongoing conflict with Azerbaijan, say the attack was a hate crime.
Fonseca allegedly used a knife and a wooden stick to slash at protesters, injuring three people.
