Violence erupts at anti-white nationalist rally in Portland
Violence broke out between opposing groups at an anti-white nationalist rally in Portland that left at least one police officer injured, CBS affiliate KOIN-TV reports.
Police made several arrests in the city's downtown area as two groups faced off over different views on white nationalism.
