San Jose protesters attack Trump supporters with punches, eggs

Protesters attacked Donald Trump supporters on the sidelines of a San Jose rally Thursday night, in a raucous scene where a dozen or more people were punched and at least one woman was pelted with an egg.

(FOX)– Protesters also reportedly grabbed Trump hats from supporters and set the hats on fire on the ground.

Police eventually moved into the 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.

Mixed accounts emerged overnight over to what extent the Trump supporters were taunting the protesters. KTVU reported that the woman who got hit with an egg was “making gestures back at” the protesters.

But the same report said the crowd of demonstrators had surrounded and trapped her at the time, and video of the incident appeared to support that account.

Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta took to Twitter to condemn violence against “supporters of any candidate.”

There were no immediate reports of injuries and no major property damage, police said.
