Milo Yiannopoulos: Protesters clash with alt-right speaker's supporters in Melbourne - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): One of the protesters fell to the ground and was bleeding during the incident.

Both left and right groups were chanting and holding placards.

Neil Erikson from far-right group Patriot Blue said he was at the protest to defend free speech.

"We were basically coming to the Milo event and we were attacked so we had to defend ourselves," he said.

Chris DiPasquale from the campaign against racism and fascism said his group "want to send a positive message".

"We're against racism, we're against sexism, transphobia, homophobia, everything that Milo stands for we're against that," he said.

The venue of the sold-out shows was kept secret to those who purchased tickets until the last minute, due to concerns about protests.

The right-wing commentator has made a career out of attacking feminism, political correctness and Islam.

A book by Mr Yiannopoulos was cancelled after video resurfaced which showed him speaking positively about sexual relationships between boys and men.
