Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner urged protesters to remain peaceful after a group of people demonstrating against Floyd's death blocked highway entrances and threw objects at police officers.
Some protesters clashed with police in downtown Houston, Texas, with officers deploying tear gas or pepper spray to disperse crowds.
Organisers believe more than 3,000 gathered with Black Lives Matter Houston to protest Floyd's death with chants of "I can't breathe" and "No justice, no peace".
Turner said some were arrested for attempting to block roads, but no injuries were reported. He added that some police vehicles were damaged.
