At least one person was injured and police made nine arrests when a protest over the acquittal of neighbourhood watch volunteer accused of killing a black teen in Florida turned violent in Oakland.
Newspapers report that a waiter guarding windows at a restaurant was hit in the face with a hammer late Monday night, and protesters threw fireworks at police in riot gear. Police deployed flash-bang grenades.
Police spokeswoman Johnna Watson says the arrests were for crimes including assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.
