Highway shut down by anti-Trump supporters

Anti-Trump protesters and supporters clash in Fountain Hills, Arizona (Reuters)

Demonstrators protesting against US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump have shut down a highway leading to a campaign rally for the candidate near Phoenix, Arizona, Fox News reports.

Footage of Saturday's demonstration showed a group of protesters with cars blocking forward traffic, holding signs that read: "Dump Trump" and "Shut Down Trump."

Trump rallies are notoriously rambunctious and often face interruptions from a number of protests erupting in the audience.

A recent campaign rally in Chicago was cancelled following heated and sometimes physical clashes between protesters and supporters before Trump had even taken the stage.
