Police arrested nine people involved in a brawl on Route One near the Valley Gate.
As a result of the brawl, two wounded were evacuated to the hospital for medical treatment.
The brawl took place when a group of Armenian residents from the north of the country, who had earlier taken part in a demonstration in downtown Jerusalem against the sale of weapons to Turkey and Azerbaijan, were on their way back to the north of the country when they encountered minorities recognizing the signs and flags.

A confrontation broke out between the parties, which, as stated, escalated into a brawl on the edge of road number one.
This is the second consecutive Saturday that a demonstration has taken place, with protesters carrying signs condemning Turkish President Erdogan and calling him "Turkish Hitler."
Earlier in the day, 12 civilian civilians were killed in a missile strike on the country's second-largest city.
Fifty people were injured in the attack and huge damage was done to infrastructure in the city.
The Armenian community of Tavisrael criticizes the warm relations between Jerusalem and Baku and the sale of advanced Israeli weapons to Azerbaijan.
About two weeks ago, a senior Azari official confirmed to "Israel Today" that his country uses Israeli-made suicide drones in the war in the "Nagorno-Karabakh" region.
