It comes amid increasing unrest across the US, as anti-Trump and "count the vote" demos entered their third night of clashes.

Scenes from Philadelphia show large groups of protesters from both political camps.

One man wearing a red hoodie and a grey hat, stands at the front of the crowd of anti-Trump protesters, leans over a metal fence separating the left and right camps to shout at the pro-Trump group.

He is holding a "count every vote" poster and appears to point his finger at somebody potentially filming him over the fence.

He says: "I will blow his brains out, I'll kill him. Bam."

He repeats: "I will kill him", adding: "I will blow his head off. Yep."

'I'LL BLOW HIS BRAINS OUT'

A man on the other side of the fence shouts back: "You are an American!"

Meanwhile crowds chant "Trump is a racist" while another man repeats the line in a sing-song voice.

A Twitter Live video showing scores of protesters milling around downtown Philadelphia was also shared from the scene.

The left and right camps appear to be split by a metal fence, as Kassam describes Trump supporters being "penned in", whereas "lefties" are free to move about.
