Donald Trump’s presidential victory has set off protests on both coasts of the United States.
From Pennsylvania to California, Oregon and Washington hundreds of people hit the streets to voice their opposition to Mr Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton.
At least 500 people swarmed on streets in and around UCLA, some shouting anti-Trump expletives and others chanting “Not my president”.
There were no immediate arrests.
Smaller demonstrations were held at University of California campuses and neighbourhoods in Berkeley, Irvine and Davis and at San Jose State.
In Oakland, more than 100 protesters took to the streets. Protesters burned effigies of Mr Trump, smashed windows of the Oakland Tribune newsroom and set fire to tyres and rubbish, according to television reports.
The California Highway Patrol said a woman was struck by a car during the protest and severely injured.
In Oregon, dozens of people blocked traffic in Portland and forced a delay for trains on two light rail lines. Media reports say the crowd grew to about 300 people, including some who sat in the middle of the road to block traffic. The crowd of anti-Trump protesters burned American flags and chanted “That’s not my president”.
In Seattle, a group of around 100 protesters gathered in the Capital Hill neighbourhood, blocked roads and set a rubbish bin on fire.
In Pennsylvania, hundreds of University of Pittsburgh students marched through the streets, with some in the crowd calling for unity.
The student-run campus newspaper, the Pitt News, tweeted about an event later in the day titled “Emergency Meeting: Let’s Unite to Stop President Trump”.
