Violent clashes erupted during vigils for Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated on Wednesday.

Footage shows a group of men attacking a scooter rider near the Idaho Capitol on September 11.

Reports said the rider passed by the vigil, shouting ‘F*** Charlie Kirk' as he sped through the grief-stricken crowd.

The angry mourners then confronted and attacked him, with some still holding their candles, helping him to stand up.

Police officers quickly responded and escorted him from the area.

Charlie, who cofounded Turning Point USA, was killed by a sniper at around 12:25 pm while he held a political discussion at a campus event in Utah.

Police detained two suspects, but they were later released. The suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson, was later taken into custody.

President Donald Trump said he is 'filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination' and called it a 'dark moment for America'.
