--- Quote ---Violent protests erupted at UC Berkeley on Wednesday night hours before right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak.

Black-clad protesters could be seen throwing fireworks at police and at the student union center on the Berkeley campus where the Breitbart editor's event was to be held. They were also seen tearing down metal barriers, smashing windows of the student center and setting a fire outside the building.

The university estimated that more than 1,500 protesters were gathered outside the student center. At least one person was injured, according to the university, although it was not immediately clear whether the individual was a protester, staff member or a bystander.

Administrators decided to cancel the event about two hours before Yiannopoulos' speech. UC Berkeley said it removed him from campus "amid the violence and destruction of property and out of concern for public safety."
