SAN JOSE (AP/WCMH)– Donald Trump supporters leaving the presidential candidate’s rally in San Jose were pounced on by protesters, some of whom threw punches and eggs.
A dozen or more people were hit and car windows were broken. Trump hats grabbed from supporters were set on fire on the ground. At least one woman was pelted with an egg. Several people attacked a young man wearing a “Build the Wall” t-shirt while a TV crew was filming. The reporter, KPIX’s Len Ramirez, told the man to get away.
Police stood their ground at first but after about 90 minutes moved into the remaining crowd to break it up and make arrests. At least four people were taken into custody, though police didn’t release total arrest figures Thursday night. One officer was assaulted, police Sgt. Enrique Garcia said.What others are clicking on:
