Police subsequently announced that three men had been charged in connection with the confrontation: A 57-year-old Detroit man was charged with assault and battery and malicious destruction of property, while a 25-year-old Detroit man and a 25-year-old Dearborn man were each charged with assault and battery.
Videos of the confrontation showed Lang being punched and having objects, including what appeared to be rocks, thrown at him.
One video showed Lang using a megaphone along Greenfield Road shortly before the attack, denouncing the presence of Muslims in the United States and describing procession participants as undocumented immigrants.
During previous visits over the past several months, Lang attempted to burn copies of the Quran in Dearborn and Hamtramck.
Lang was also arrested in Texas in June on a felony charge of making a terroristic threat.
