Abbie Hoffman, his nose bandaged from injuries sustained during a May 3, 1971 demonstration in Washington, D.C., is shown being escorted from the Federal House of Detention in New York by an FBI agent in this Associated Press wirephoto dated May 6, 1971. The image was transmitted to AP member outlets and bears the AP/Wide World Photos stamp on the reverse along with the full teletype caption and transmission data.

Hoffman wears a denim jacket and jeans and faces the camera directly with a steady expression; a white bandage covers the bridge of his nose. The FBI agent at his left wears a dark suit and striped tie and holds Hoffman by the arm as both emerge through a doorway framed by a brick building exterior.

The caption identifies the charges as interstate travel to incite a riot and assault on a Washington Metropolitan Police officer, and notes that Hoffman was released on bail following arraignment before a U.S. Commissioner. Hoffman's wife Anita is quoted describing the injuries as a broken nose and split upper lip sustained during the demonstration.

The reverse bears the AP wirephoto transmission stamp dated 5/6/71, caption code A2772, and the AP/Wide World Photos usage restriction notice.
