Trump Victory Sets Off Protests In Downtown LA

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com/AP) — Donald Trump's presidential victory set off protests by hundreds of people on California college campuses.

Police say at least 500 people swarmed on streets in and around UCLA early Wednesday morning, some shouting anti-Trump expletives.

Several students posted video of the demonstrations on Twitter.

There were no immediate arrests.

Smaller demonstrations were held at University of California campuses and neighborhoods in Berkeley, Irvine and Davis and at San Jose State.

The California Highway Patrol says a woman was struck by a car during the protest and severely injured.

Donald Trump will officially take office in January 2017.
