Police clashed with civil rights protesters on Sunday as demonstrators gathered outside the Los Angeles mayor's house, video posted on social media showed.

Sunday saw the 13th consecutive day of demonstrations organized by civil rights group Black Lives Matter outside Mayor Eric Garcetti's official residence, in protest against his potential appointment to president-elect Joe Biden's cabinet.

Video shared online showed police scuffling with protesters and hitting them with batons.

According to local media, the police moved in on the protesters in an attempt to make an arrest after a protester used a bullhorn and after a neighbour filed a noise complaint.

One protester was reportedly arrested.

Protesters say they are opposed to Garcetti, who co-chaired Biden's campaign, based on his handling of issues such as homelessness and the COVID-19 pandemic.
