One person was injured and five others were arrested during a protest where at least 1,500 gathered outside an auditorium at UC Berkeley on Wednesday, where conservative pundit Ann Coulter was giving a speech titled “Adios, America.”

Police put up a large water-filled barricade outside the event but some protestors formed human chains to physically block people from entering the venue, while other protestors yelled and screamed at those trying to enter the building.
