Violent protesters at last night’s Donald Trump rally in Dallas, Texas, threw rocks at supporters, injuring a photographer covering the event for a local paper.
Danny Fulgencio, a photo journalist for the Dallas Advocate, was pictured outside the businessman’s fundraiser with blood streaming down his face.

As the event’s commencement grew closer, crowds outside of Gilley’s Club in downtown Dallas grew more violent with police having to confront demonstrators harassing Trump supporters.

A Black Lives Matter protester was also arrested by police for disorderly conduct.
After mending his wounds, Fulgencio claimed he was OK.
“It bled like hell,” Fulgencio said, according to the Dallas Morning News. “Then it was okay.”
