Four cops injured and man drives into crowd of protesters as 'No Kings Day' rallies descend into chaos

Four police officers were injured in Portland on Saturday and a man 'intentionally' drove his SUV into a crowd of protestors in Virginia as 'No Kings Day' protests descended into chaos across the country.

The widespread violence broke out following President Donald Trump's birthday military parade in Washington D.C. and anti-Trump marches across the country.

It was a scene of chaos in Portland as hundreds of protesters clad in black clashed with federal officers at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.

Federal officers decked out in tactical gear deployed smoke, tear gas, flash grenades and other projectiles as demonstrators threw fireworks and water bottles in response.

Some even used a stop sign to smash through one of the doors to the ICE facility.

Earlier in the day, several thousands had gathered downtown for a number of 'No Kings' protest across the city but it was only after 6pm that the protests grew violent.

Joseph R. Checklick Jr., 21, drove his SUV through a dispersing crowd in a parking lot in northern Virginia, which led to him 'striking at least one person with his vehicle,' police said in a statement.

The protest took place throughout Saturday afternoon in Culpeper, a small town roughly 70 miles from Washington, D.C.
