Myburgh said protesters pelted cops and motorists with stones. Goods were also looted from a delivery truck.
The protest escalated on Tuesday when some community members dug up Sarafina Road in Ikageng using an excavator that they forcefully took from its owner.
Myburgh said a case of malicious damage to property was opened and a 36-year-old suspect was arrested.
All 10 suspects are expected to appear in the Potchefstroom Magistrate's Court on Friday.
"The police are maintaining presence in the area and the N12 has been opened for traffic since yesterday [Wednesday] evening."
