The US Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, has cancelled a rally in Chicago because of angry protests at the venue.
It is not the first time that things have turned nasty at a Trump campaign event.
When asked about it at a debate on Thursday, Mr Trump blamed unruly protesters for the violence.
Speaking after Friday night's scuffles, his rival for the nomination, Ted Cruz, said Mr Trump was responsible.
"When you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence... you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse," the Texas senator said.
Mr Trump told MSNBC that he cancelled the rally because he "didn't want to see anybody get hurt". He later told CNN that he had no regrets about his rallies, describing the protesters as "bad dudes". "They were rough, tough guys," he added.
